Marchenko redatuming, imaging and multiple elimination, and their mutual relations

With the Marchenko method it is possible to retrieve Green's functions between virtual sources in the subsurface and receivers at the surface from reflection data at the surface and focusing functions. A macro model of the subsurface is needed to estimate the first arrival; the internal multiples are retrieved entirely from the reflection data....

A New Role for Adaptive Filters in Marchenko Equation-Based Methods for the Attenuation of Internal Multiples

We have seen many developments in Marchenko equation-based methods for internal multiple attenuation in the past years. Starting from a wave-equation based method that required a smooth velocity model, there are now Marchenko equation-based methods that do not require any model information or user-input. In principle, these methods accurately...

An overview of Marchenko methods

Since the introduction of the Marchenko method in geophysics, many variants have been developed. Using a compact unified notation, we review redatuming by multidimensional deconvolution and by double focusing, virtual seismology, double dereverberation and transmission-compensated Marchenko multiple elimination, and discuss the underlying...

Single- and Double-Sided Marchenko Imaging Conditions in Acoustic Media

Electromagnetic Marchenko imaging in 1D for dissipative media

We present a one-dimensional lossless scheme to compute an image of a dissipative medium from two single-sided reflection responses. One reflection response is measured at or above the top reflector of a dissipative medium and the other reflection response is computed as if measured at or above the top reflector of a medium with negative...
