The proposed common-azimuth procedure was successful
in prestack depth imaging
a 3-D marine data set recorded over a complex geological area.
The results presented in this paper demonstrate that
the application of AMO in conjunction with
common-azimuth migration is a viable
method for full-volume prestack imaging.
The transformation of the recorded data to effective
common-azimuth data by AMO improves the final image
even when the data was acquired with only three streamers.
Consequently,
AMO should to be included for the accurate common-azimuth imaging
of modern data sets acquired with more than three streamers.
The introduction of common-azimuth
imaging opens several promising new possibilities
for velocity estimation based on wavefield focusing.
