Latest Patents
James M Tippett holds a patent for a method titled "Method for sharpening prestack depth migration images by removing." This patent describes a technique for removing residual moveout by sorting the results of common offset depth migration into common image point gathers. The method involves selecting a subset of image point gathers for analysis and separating each gather vertically into windows centered on strong events. By summing all offset traces to produce a brute stack trace, the method cross-correlates all offsets to determine the necessary shifts for optimal summation. This results in a truly flat image for stacking, with dynamic shifts that vary with depth and offset.
