Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Van der Neut, J.R. (author), Vasconcelos, I. (author), Slob, E.C. (author)Marchenko imaging is a new way to deal with internal multiple scattering in migration. It has been designed for layered media with smooth interfaces. Here we analyze the performance of the Marchenko scheme for a medium with many point scatterers. Although the conditions for Marchenko imaging are violated, we observe from a numerical experiment...conference paper 2014

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Van der Neut, J.R. (author), Broggini, F. (author), Slob, E.C. (author), Snieder, R. (author)Traditionally, the Marchenko equation forms a basis for 1D inverse scattering problems. A 3D extension of the Marchenko equation enables the retrieval of the Green’s response to a virtual source in the subsurface from reflection measurements at the earth’s surface. This constitutes an important step beyond seismic interferometry. Whereas seismic...journal article 2014

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Van der Neut, J.R. (author), Broggini, F. (author), Slob, E.C. (author), Snieder, R. (author)The methodology of Green’s function retrieval by cross-correlation has led to many interesting applications for passive and controlled-source acoustic measurements. In all applications, a virtual source is created at the position of a receiver. Here a method is discussed for Green’s function retrieval from controlled-source reflection data,...journal article 2014

Van der Neut, J.R. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Vasconcelos, I. (author)Complex overburdens can severely distort transmitted wavefields, posing serious challenges for seismic imaging. In Marchenko redatuming, we use an iterative scheme to estimate so-called focusing functions, which can be used to redatum seismic wavefields to a specified level below the major complexities in the subsurface. Unlike in conventional...conference paper 2014

Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Van der Neut, J.R. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Recent research showed that the Marchenko equation can be used to construct the Green’s function for a virtual source position in the subsurface. The method requires the reflection response at the surface and an estimate of the direct arrival of the wavefield, traveling from the virtual source location to the acquisition surface. In this paper,...conference paper 2013

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Slob, E.C. (author), Van der Neut, J. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Broggini, F. (author), Snieder, R. (author)In recent work we showed with heuristic arguments that the Green's response to a virtual source in the subsurface can be obtained from reflection data at the surface. This method is called “Green's function retrieval beyond seismic interferometry”, because, unlike in seismic interferometry, no receiver is needed at the position of the virtual...journal article 2013

(author)The investigation and detection of near-surface structures (such as cavities, caves, sinkholes, tunnels, mineshafts, buried objects, archeological ruins, water reservoir, etc.) is important to mitigate geo- and environmental hazards. In a former study, we suggested a method based on active-source seismic interferometry for locating the...conference paper 2013

Broggini, F. (author), Snieder, R. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author)Seismic interferometry is a technique that allows one to reconstruct the full wavefield originating from a virtual source inside a medium, assuming a receiver is present at the virtual source location. We discuss a method that creates a virtual source inside a medium from reflection data measured at the surface, without needing a receiver inside...conference paper 2013

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author)The crosscorrelation of ambient acoustic noise observed at two receivers yields the impulse response between these receivers, assuming that the noise field is diffuse. In practical situations the noise field exhibits directionality, which imprints the angle-dependent correlation function. For the situation of a directional scatterer in a...journal article 2013

(author)In this study, non-physical (ghost) scattered surface waves are used to obtain the location of a near surface scatterer. The ghost is obtained from application of seismic interferometry to only one source at the surface. Different locations for virtual sources are chosen and ghost scattered surface waves for each of these virtual-source...conference paper 2012

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Van der Neut, J.R. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author)Deblending of simultaneous-source data is usually considered to be an underdetermined inverse problem, which can be solved by an iterative procedure, assuming additional constraints like sparsity and coherency. By exploiting the fact that seismic data are spatially band-limited, deblending of densely sampled sources can be carried out as a...journal article 2012

(author)With controlled-source seismic interferometry we aim to redatum sources to downhole receiver locations without requiring a velocity model. Interferometry is generally based on a source integral over cross-correlation (CC) pairs of full, perturbed (time-gated), or decomposed wavefields. We provide an overview of ghosts, multiples, and spatial...journal article 2011

Draganov, D.S. (author), Campman, X. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Verdel, A. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)One application of seismic interferometry is to retrieve the impulse response (Green's function) from crosscorrelation of ambient seismic noise. Various researchers show results for retrieving the surface-wave part of the Green's function. However, reflection retrieval has proven more challenging. We crosscorrelate ambient seismic noise,...journal article 2009

Draganov, D. (author), Wapenaar, K. (author), Thorbecke, J. (author), Nishizawa, O. (author)By crosscorrelating transmission recordings of acoustic or elastic wave fields at two points, one can retrieve the reflection response between these two points. This technique has previously been applied to measured elastic data using diffuse wave-field recordings. These recordings should be relatively very long. The retrieval can also be...journal article 2007
