Abstract
A method and apparatus for enhancing the moveout between a direct wave and a reflected wave. The method involves transmitting imaging signals into a body to be imaged and receiving the resulting signals propagated from the signal source. The step of receiving the propagated signals includes selectively adjusting the distance between the signal source and the signal receivers between successive signals. The method further comprises separating the reflected signals from the total received signals and enhanced stacking of the measured reflected signals.
