Popis: Wave equation depth migration methods such as phaseshift plus interpolation, extended split-step Fourier, or Fourier finite difference plus interpolation, require a limited set of reference velocities for efficient wavefield extrapolation through laterally inhomogeneous velocity models. In basic implementations, reference velocities are selected as either a linear or a geometric progression spanning the range of model velocities. However, it is unlikely that the model velocities are distributed linearly or geometrically. If the reference velocities can be distributed statistically to more closely approximate the actual distribution, the accuracy of the extrapolation step can be improved.
