Illumination, resolution, and incidence-angle in PSDM: A tutorial Isabelle Lecomte NORSAR, R&D Seismic Modelling, P.O.Box 53, 2027 Kjeller, Norway isabelle@norsar.no ? Thank you mister chairman, and good morning everybody.

Hubble telescope: space-variant PSF* *Point-Spread Functions Space-variant PSF! Let us first have a look at some images from the Hubble telescope. As highligthed here, a star appears as a cross-like pattern through the telescope. To understand why, the so-called Point-Spread functions, or PSF, i.e, the response of a point scatterer through the imaging system, are plotted here, and we recognize the cross-pattern. But Hubble was a poor telescope at the beginning due to irregularities on its mirror. As a consequence, the http://huey.jpl.nasa.gov/mprl

Point-Spread Functions in Marmousi* Seismics: PSF may be very space-variant! *Marmousi model courtesy of IFP

Resolution, illumination, …etc! * Acoustic/elastic impedance Reflection ~ contrasts! ** PSDM … at best! ! Not 1D convolution! *http://www.lenna.org , **Liner (2000), and Monk (2002)

Content Introduction Image formation in PSDM Scattering wavenumber: the key! Resolution Illumination Examples Controlling imaging Conclusions The content of this talk will be as following. After a short introduction about the motivations, I will give the key concept behind this study, to make us understand how a seismic image is formed. I am speaking here of PSDM images. A quick presentation of the methods I use will then be given, follow by examples to highlight illumination, resolution and incidence-angle effects. Such analyses are very useful, both prior and after acquisition and processing, as we will discuss.

PSF and PSDM: why? scattering structures = set of point scatterers (e.g., exploding reflector concept, etc) PSDM(point scatterer) = Point-Spread Function If PSF known: PSDM image = Reflectivity * PSF Question 1: how to get PSF without generating synthetic point scatterers at each image point? Question 2: how to use PSF to understand and improve PSDM?
