Migration velocity analysis in factorized VTI media
Sarkar, Debashish
In recent times, seismic imaging efforts around the world have focused on increasingly complex earth models that are not only heterogeneous, but anisotropic as well. Focusing my investigation on the simplest realistic heterogeneous anisotropic model --- factorized VTI (transversely isotropic with a vertical symmetry axis) medium with constant vertical and lateral gradients in vertical velocity, I develop insights into how anisotropy and hetero...
