Images relating to a subsurface region may be generated based at least in part on a backward propagated source wavefield and a receiver wavefield. A source wavefield may be propagated from an initial wavefield-state forward in time, from an initial time-state to a final time-state, through an earth model associated with the subsurface region. The backward propagated source wavefield may be determined by propagating the source wavefield backward in time, from the final time-state to the initial time-state, through the earth model to reconstruct the initial wavefield-state. The receiver wavefield may be propagated, from the final time-state, through the earth model. The earth model may include at least one boundary region that can be defined as having one or more of absorbing characteristics, boosting characteristics, randomly perturbed characteristics, and/or other characteristics. As such, wavefields may be dampened, amplified, randomly scattered, and/or otherwise altered at the at least one boundary region. These wavefields may be used for constructing images of subsurface regions with improved signal-to-noise ratios. |
