Linearized modeling (Born modeling) from a prestack image parameterized as a function of subsurface offset can
be described as follows:
![$\displaystyle d({\bf x}_r,{\bf x}_s,\omega) = \sum_{{\bf x}}\sum_{{\bf h}}L_{h}({\bf x},{\bf h},{\bf x}_r,{\bf x}_s,\omega)m_h({\bf x},{\bf h}),$](img26.png) |

where
is the seismic data with a source located at
and a receiver
located at
;
is the angular frequency;
is the prestack image located at
for a half subsurface offset
;
is the sensitivity kernel defined as follows:
![$\displaystyle L_{h}({\bf x},{\bf h},{\bf x}_r,{\bf x}_s,\omega) = \omega^2f_s(\omega)G({\bf x}-{\bf h},{\bf x}_s,\omega)G({\bf x}+{\bf h},{\bf x}_r,\omega),$](img35.png) |
|

where
is the source signature, and
and
are the Green's functions connecting the source and receiver, respectively,
to the image point
.
Reconstruction of the prestack image
can be posed as an inverse problem by minimizing the following objective function
defined in the data space:
![$\displaystyle F({\bf m}) = \frac{1}{2}\sum_{\omega}\sum_{{\bf x}_s}\sum_{{\bf x}_r}\vert W({\bf x}_r,{\bf x}_s)r({\bf x}_r,{\bf x}_s,\omega)\vert^2,$](img41.png) |
|
|
(3) |
where
is the data residual
and
is the acquisition mask operator, which contains unity values where we record data and zeros where
we do not.
The gradient of the objective function
reads
![$\displaystyle I_{h}({\bf x},{\bf h}) = \sum_{\omega} \sum_{{\bf x}_s} \sum_{{\b...
...}^{*}({\bf x},{\bf h},{\bf x}_r,{\bf x}_s,\omega)r({\bf x}_r,{\bf x}_s,\omega),$](img45.png) |
|
|
(4) |
where
denotes complex conjugation.
Equation 4 is similar to the prestack shot-profile migration formula and it produces migrated reflectivity images
defined in the subsurface offset domain (Rickett and Sava, 2002).
The Hessian can be obtained by taking the second-order derivatives of
with respect to the model parameters as follows:
![$\displaystyle H_{h}({\bf x},{\bf x}',{\bf h},{\bf h}') =\sum_{\omega} \sum_{{\b...
...\bf x}_r,{\bf x}_s,\omega) L_{h}({\bf x}',{\bf h}',{\bf x}_r,{\bf x}_s,\omega).$](img47.png) |
|

When
and
, we obtain the diagonal elements of the Hessian operator
![$\displaystyle H_{h}({\bf x},{\bf h}) = \sum_{\omega}\sum_{{\bf x}_s}\sum_{{\bf ...
...x}_r,{\bf x}_s)
\vert L_{h}({\bf x},{\bf h},{\bf x}_r,{\bf x}_s,\omega)\vert^2.$](img50.png) |
|

The diagonal of the Hessian is often known as the illumination map of the subsurface,
it contains illumination contribution from both sources and receivers for a given acquisition configuration.
