Lj. Karam et Jh. Mcclellan, EFFICIENT DESIGN OF DIGITAL-FILTERS FOR 2-D AND 3-D DEPTH MIGRATION, IEEE transactions on signal processing, 45(4), 1997, pp. 1036-1044
Two- and three-dimensional (2-D and 3-D) depth migration can be perfor
med using 1-D and 2-D extrapolation digital filters, respectively. The
depth extrapolation is done, one frequency at a time, by convolving t
he seismic wavefield with a complex-valued, frequency- and velocity-de
pendent, digital filter. This process requires the design of a complet
e set of extrapolation filters: one filter for each possible frequency
-velocity pair. Instead of independently designing the frequency- and
velocity-dependent filters, an efficient procedure is introduced for d
esigning a complete set of 1-D and 2-D extrapolation filters using tra
nsformations. The problem of designing a desired set of migration filt
ers is thus reduced to the design of a single 1-D filter, which is the
n mapped to produce all the desired 1-D or 2-D migration filters. The
new design procedure has the additional advantage that both the 1-D an
d 2-D migration filters can be realized efficiently and need not have
their coefficients precomputed or tabulated.
