Without considering intrinsic attenuation, reverse time migration (RTM) of data from lossy
media produces smeared migration images because of the Q effects (amplitude loss and …

The viscoacoustic wave equation with decoupled amplitude attenuation and phase
dispersion terms is convenient for implementing reverse time migration (RTM) in attenuating …

Reverse time migration with Q compensation (Q-RTM) is an effective approach to enhance
the resolution of seismic images because it retrieves the amplitude loss and phase distortion …

Reduced amplitude and distorted dispersion of seismic waves caused by attenuation,
especially strong attenuation, always degrades the resolution of migrated images. To …

Simulation of wave propagation in a constant-Q viscoacoustic medium is an important
problem, for instance, within Q-compensated reverse time migration (RTM). Processes of …

To compensate phase distortion and energy attenuation caused by anelasticity, a least-
squares reverse-time migration (LSRTM) is reformulated with a visco-acoustic wave …

Strong subsurface attenuation leads to distortion of amplitudes and phases of seismic waves
propagating inside the earth. Conventional acoustic reverse time migration (RTM) and least …

During seismic wave propagation, intrinsic attenuation inside the earth gives rise to
amplitude loss and phase dispersion. Without appropriate correction strategies in migration …

Amplitude energy attenuation and phase distortion of seismic waves caused by formation
viscoelasticity reduce the resolution of reverse time migration (RTM) images. Q-RTM often is …

Anisotropy and Q attenuation bring great challenges to seismic wave migration. On migrated
images, anisotropy creates structural and positioning errors, and Q attenuation leads to …
