| description | Seismic imaging techniques often require an input velocity model. Velocity analysis is one of the most critical stages in seismic data processing. Standard ways to find the velocity model from seismic data in the time domain are constant velocity stack and semblance velocity analysis that may be time consuming and labor intensive. Oriented/velocity-less imaging using local event slopes is an alternative to the conventional imaging techniques. In some previous oriented techniques, seismic data must be sorted in two different domains, whereas seismic data are not always available in both domains and the use of interpolation is inevitable in such cases. Other methods are developed in terms of the higher order derivatives of traveltime with respect to offset, whereas estimation of the higher order derivatives is difficult to achieve with the required accuracy. We addressed the limitations by developing an oriented local slope based prestack time migration technique in only one domain: the common-source domain. The migration technique is developed for reflectors with small curvature. In the proposed approach, the need for the estimation of higher order derivatives is replaced by a point-to-point mapping of seismic data using the predictive painting technique. The theoretical contents of the proposed technique are tested on a simple synthetic data example and applied to a field data set. |
