A wealthy literature exists on computational equipment in line with wave equations for seismic imaging and earth-parameter estimation. a little misplaced within the boost to more and more subtle computational innovations are the intuitive rules with roots that stretch again to Hagedoorn and are according to ray conception, the geometry of knowledge, and the geometry of wave propagation. In 'Seismic True-Amplitude Imaging' (SEG Geophysical advancements sequence No. 12), the authors describe their study of decades, demonstrating that these easy rules additionally bring about a vast description of the constitution of the earth's inside and the alterations in medium parameters throughout reflectors. Demonstrations within the open literature of the efficacy in their tools abound. Now these principles were gathered and reorganized. The e-book offers a pictorial presentation of the fundamental ideas of Kirchhoff-type imaging and proceeds to a entire remedy of its kinematic and dynamic features. The textual content is a necessary addition to the library of a person attracted to the speculation and practices of seismic info processing for imaging and parameter estimation with all its attendant processes.
