Simultaneous time imaging, velocity estimation, and multiple suppression using local event slopes

Starting with the double-square-root equation we derive expressions for a velocity-independent prestack time migration and for the associated migration velocity. We then use that velocity to identify multiples and suppress them as part of the imaging step. To describe our algorithm, workflow, and pr...
