摘要
<p id="p-1">Using model and field data, this article reviews the virtual-source method and its acquisition geometry requirements. Before we go into the details of the acquisition geometry requirements, let us briefly review the basic concept and the advantages of the virtual-source method. A typical surface seismic experiment has sources on the surface to excite waves that propagate through the subsurface. Surface receivers record the reflected waves. In order to image the subsurface, we migrate the reflected wavefield recorded by the receivers, using an estimate of the subsurface velocity model. However, the near surface is usually complex, and the velocity is difficult to estimate. These near-surface inhomogeneities, if not represented in the migration velocity model, defocus the deeper image. In order to avoid the estimation of the near-surface velocity model, Bakulin and Calvert (2006) proposed the virtual-source method, a technique that uses cross-correlation of the wavefield recorded by a given pair of receivers to estimate the response between them. p>
