This book describes the theory and practice of inverting seismic data for the subsurface rock
properties of the earth. The primary application is for inverting reflection and/or transmission …

Viscoacoustic least-squares reverse time migration, also denoted as Q-LSRTM, linearly
inverts for the subsurface reflectivity model from lossy data. Compared with conventional …

Standard migration images can suffer from (1) migration artifacts caused by an
undersampled acquisition geometry,(2) poor resolution resulting from a limited recording …

Wave-equation migration velocity analysis (WEMVA) based on subsurface-offset, angle
domain, or time-lag common-image gathers (CIGs) requires significant computational and …

Linear poroelastic effective stress law is often used to relate in situ total stresses to pore fluid
pressure in underground formations. The indirect estimations of effective stress coefficient …

Least-squares migration (LSM) of seismic data is supposed to produce images of
subsurface structures with better quality than standard migration if we have an accurate …

We propose an adaptive approach to address the practical issues in least-squares reverse
time migration (LSRTM) with a focus on subsalt imaging. The problems include imperfect …

Poynting vector based reverse time migration () can migrate seismic data into angle-domain
common-image gathers (). The quality of common-image-gather is related to the used …

We proposed an adaptive approach to address the practical issues in least-squares reverse
time migration (LSRTM) with a focus on subsalt imaging. The problems included imperfect …

The quality of seismic migration images strongly depends on accurate velocity models.
However, migration velocity models often contain errors causing artifacts which degrade …
