Abstract:We base on Kirchhoff integral for propagated wavefields to realize migration, and rely on the calculation of the Green functions for the classical wave equation by performing a summation of Gaussian beams for the direct and back propagated wavefield. The subsurface image is obtained by calculating the coherence between the direct and back-propagated wavefields. The model calculation and the real data verify that our method combines the advantages of the high computational speed of ray-based migration with the high accuracy of reverse-time wave-equation migration, which can overcome problems with caustics, yield good images of steep dips, and be readily extendible to target-oriented implementation.
