GENERALIZED IMAGE-RAY METHOD

The image ray method for poststack imaging assumes that time migration focuses the energy diffracted from a scatterer onto the apex of the diffraction curve. All what the image-ray corrections do is to map the image sample at the time-migrated position of the apex to the depth-migrated position of the scatterer. In this section, I use the same assumption and concept to generalize the image-ray method to prestack imaging.
