Pseudounitary NMO
, by Biondo Biondi and Jon Claerbout
The NMO is a linear operator that performs a transformation of variables; in reflection seismology it is used in the moveout of a CDP gather. Stolt's migration is NMO in the frequency domain. In this paper we derive two new NMO's that are unitary operators. We compare the new transformations with the conventional NMO by using the results of a normal moveout of a synthetic CDP gather and the output of Stolt's migration.
