Resumo:
One of the major challenges to seismic imaging in complex geological regions is velocity model building in depth. If lateral variation in the propagation velocity is moderate, a depth velocity model can be build starting from time migration velocities. I review the theoretical relation between these velocities using the paraxial ray theory. The estimation of depth velocities from time migration velocities is unstable. I implement regularized versions of the time to depth conversion based on Dijkstra-like fast marching methods. Two more e cient variations from the original algorithm proposed recently in the literature are evaluated. The relation between the polynomial degree and the regularization value for the least-squares problem associated with the wavefront interpolation are determined. Finally, I test these algorithms on 2D synthetic data and compare the results obtained by three ray tracing algorithms.
