Abstract

A method is described for seismic imaging of the subsurface using dip-guided optimized stacking. The method computes weighting functions for a plurality of single-shot migrated images, unstacked seismic images, or partially stacked seismic images based on a slant stack performed using an input dip dataset; applying the plurality of weighting functions to the plurality of single-shot migrated images, unstacked seismic images, or partially stacked seismic images, or a plurality of dip-filtered images to create a plurality of weighted images; and summing the plurality of weighted images into a stacked seismic image. The method may be executed by a computer system.
