Abstract

A method for generating a high-resolution pseudo-reflectivity image of a subsurface region includes receiving seismic data associated with a subsurface region and captured by one or more seismic receivers, constructing a velocity model of the subsurface region based on the received seismic data, performing a seismic migration of the received seismic data based on the constructed velocity model to obtain migrated seismic data, computing polarized normal vectors associated with one or more subsurface reflectors of the subsurface region based on the migrated seismic data, and generating a pseudo-reflectivity image of the subsurface region based on both the computed polarized normal vectors.
