INTRODUCTION

In Stolt migration, it's very important to select a good algorithm for interpolation in the frequency domain. Incorrectly migrated events caused by a bad interpolator can badly distort the correctly migrated events. Harlan 1982 showed some of the artifacts produced by different interpolators.

In this paper we compare the following five different interpolation methods: nearest-neighbor, linear, linear plus cork-screw, Harlan's 10-point scheme, and Muir's scheme.
