Abstract
Seismic imaging methods are currently used to produce images of the
Earth's subsurface properties at diverse length scales, from high-resolution,
near-surface environmental studies for oil and gas exploration to
long-period images of the entire planet. This book presents the physical
and mathematical basis of imaging algorithms in the context of controlled-source
reflection seismology. The approach taken is motivated by physical
optics and theoretical seismology. The theory is constantly put into
practice via a graded sequence of computer exercises using the widely
available SU (Seismic Unix) software package. The material covered
in this book is more than enough for a one-semester graduate course
in seismic imaging, by the end of which students will not only be
writing their own migration codes, patterned on codes in the book,
but will be well-prepared to read the current literature.
