Convolution means several things:

•IS multiplication of a polynomial series•IS a mathematical process•IS filtering

Convolutional Model for the Earthinput

output

Reflections in the earth are viewed as equivalent to a convolution process between the earth and

the input seismic wavelet.

Convolutional Model for the Earthinput

output

SOURCE * Reflection Coefficient = DATA(input) (earth)

(output)where * stands for convolution

Convolutional Model for the Earth

(MORE REALISTIC)

SOURCE * Reflection Coefficient = DATA(input) (earth)

(output)where * stands for convolution

SOURCE * Reflection Coefficient + noise = DATA(input) (earth)

(output)

s(t) * e(t) + n(t) = d(t)

Convolution Convolution in the TIME TIME domain is equivalent to MULTIPLICATIONMULTIPLICATION in in

the FREQUENCYFREQUENCY domain

s(t) * e(t) + n(t) = d(t)

s(f,phase) x e(f,phase) + n(f,phase) = d(f,phase)

Dip Moveout (DMO)

How do we move out a dipping reflector in our data set?

Dip MoveoutA dipping reflector:

• appears to be faster•its apex may not be centered

Offset (m)

Application of DMOaka “Pre-stack partical migration”

•(1) DMO after NMO (applied to CDP/CMP data)• but before stacking•DMO is applied to Common-Offset Data •Is equivalent to migration of stacked data•Works best if velocity is constant
