We first test the proposed method using a synthetic model with known analytical time-to-depth conversion solutions. In this model, the exact velocity squared is given by
![$\displaystyle w(x,z) = \frac{1}{1-q_x x}~,$](img86.png) |
(22) |
where
, which gives a maximum of 25
changes in lateral velocity along the 7
lateral extent of the model. The analytical solutions to time-to-depth conversion in this particular type of model were presented by Li and Fomel (2015). Figure 3 shows the true interval velocity of the model (equation 22), and the analytical
and
overlaid by the contours indicating image rays and propagating image wavefront. Other inputs for the proposed conversion method are shown in Figure 4. We choose the reference
background to be the central trace of the reference
, which is constant in this case. The estimated results are shown in Figure 5 and their corresponding errors in comparison with the analytical values are shown in Figure 6. The errors appear to be generally small indicating a good accuracy for all estimated parameters but increase closer to the edges of the model, which are further away from the chosen reference
.
