Frequency Selection per Shot Gather R(w) Frequency bands of source spectrum w 20 m 216 channels Group 1 76 sources/group The colors of every hydrophone denote its ‘pass frequency’. That is, non-colored frequency bands are filtered out. By this frequency-selection mechanism, we can winnow out the undesired contributions at each hydrophone from other sources when these sources are grouped together for simulation. 2.2 km

Conventional Migration 64 shots/gather 128 shots/gather 32 shots/gather 256 shots/gather Conventional Migration ‘14%’ is chosen to equate the computational complexity of this migration (with fewer # of sources) with that of Least Squares multisource migration. The idea is, less computation can be achieved simply by using fewer CSGs. The point made in this plot is, this naïve approach yields poor result, as indicated by the dashed yellow line, of relatively large model error. N_{shots}/ gather: # of shots contained in a super-gather SNR: the observed data (which forms the objective function of LS) has been intentionally added with random band-limited noise, such that the SNR=10dB. This is to study the robustness of our approach. Red dots signify where the LS multisource migration results are perceptually comparable to that of the standard migration. The computational cost of the LS multisource migration is computed based on those numbers.

Sensitivity to Noise Level SNR=30dB SNR=10dB SNR=20dB LSFDMS stands for Least-squares Frequency Selection Multi-Source Different noise levels have been tried, with essentially the same results. Here, strict frequency selection is honored, that is, simultaneous sources have absolutely non-overlapping frequency channels. This restriction precludes more aggressive multi-sourcing. Thus the speedup factor is smaller than the eyebrow-raising 40ish. 256 frequency channels are assumed to be available. Thus each super-gather can meaningfully include at most about 256 sources.
