In general, residual migration improves the quality of an image
without re-migration of the original data; instead, a transformation
is applied to the current migrated image.
In prestack Stolt residual migration, we attempt to correct
the effects of migrating with an inaccurate reference velocity by
applying a transformation to images transformed to the
Fourier domain.
Supposing that the initial
migration was done with the velocity v0, and that the correct
velocity is v, we can use dsr-sg
to derive , the vertical wavenumber for the reference
velocity, and , the vertical wavenumber for the correct velocity.
Mathematically, the goal of prestack Stolt residual migration
is to obtain from .
If we elliminate from and ,and make the notation ,we obtain the residual migration equation for full 3D
prestack seismic images:

which can also be represented in midpoint-offset coordinates using the
change of variables in changevar.
If we make the change of variables

(34) |
we obtain a simplified version of myresmig-3d-pr:

(35) |
In the 3D post-stack case, when ,
myresmig-3d-pr becomes:

(36) |
In the 2D prestack case (kmy=0 and kmx=0),
we can write myresmig-3d-pr as:
| |
(37) |
For 2D post-stack data, myresmig-3d-po and myresmig-2d-pr become
| |
(38) |
which can also be written in the familiar form (102):

(39) |
where, by definition, , and .
