Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method of high-resolution amplitude-preserving seismic imaging for a subsurface reflectivity model, including: performing reverse time migration (RTM) to obtain an initial imaging result, performing Born forward modeling on the initial imaging result to obtain seismic simulation data, and performing RTM on the seismic simulation data to obtain a second imaging result; performing curvelet transformation on the two imaging results, performing pointwise estimation in a curvelet domain, and using a Wiener solution that matches two curvelet coefficients as a solution of a matched filter; and applying the estimated matched filter to the initial imaging result to obtain a high-resolution amplitude-preserving seismic imaging result.
