Outstanding Paper, SEG'94,
"Anti-aliased Kirchhoff 3-D migration".
A comparison of Kirchhoff migration depth slices
using: an industry-standard conventional method (left panel),
and our new anti-aliased migration method (right panel).
(Lumley, Claerbout & Bevc, SEG 1994).
A movie of 3-D migrated depth slices through a salt intrusion
created using my anti-aliased Kirchhoff 3-D migration code on the
Connection Machine CM-5. The depth of each
slice is annotated in the lower left corner of each frame.
Note that the top of the salt feature (peninsula-shaped)
pokes its head through the sediments at about 1.45 km depth.
Note the outward expanding ripples of sediment pushed upward
and outward by the rising motion of the salt body.
Also note the large lateral throw faults at about 1.70 km depth
in the bright reflector that rings the salt intrusion.
In the lower left corner, some vertical salt-filled faults
appear to bound a block of steeply dipping sediments.
