Frequency-dependent ray tracing through an interface

摘要

Computing systems and methods for improving processing of collected data are disclosed. In one embodiment, while ray-tracing through a sub-surface region, a frequency-dependent outgoing ray direction is computed from a point on an interface disposed in the sub-surface region when the ray tracing is at the interface.

主权项

1. A method for seismic data processing, comprising:
computing, using a computer, a wave path for a wave propagating through a sub-surface region; and determining an outgoing ray direction for the wave at an interface in the sub-surface region using a boundary integral based at least in part on one or more frequencies of the wave and an incoming ray direction of the wave.
