APPLICATION We have applied our imaging tool to several synthetic datasets to show how trueamplitude migration and demigration work. The development and the application on synthetic and real datasets are going on. The current version of the program is able to handle 2D and 3D true-amplitude poststack migration and demigration, and 2D trueamplitude prestack migration. The 3D prestack case is not considered at the moment due to limitations in available computing facilities. We cannot really expect that the theory presented here and the respective weight functions and algorithms work well for all earth models. However, the following results show that our imaging tool is able to handle various input datasets in a flexible and accurate way.

95 Figure 3: Isochrone. This curve is obtained by migrating a single event, here for zero offset (ZO) configuration and (for simplicity) constant velocity. In a homogeneous medium, the ZO isochrone is a semicircle (2D) or a hemisphere (3D). Figure 4: Huygens curve. This curve is obtained by demigrating a single diffraction point, here for zero offset (ZO) configuration and (for simplicity) constant velocity. In a homogeneous medium, the ZO Huygens curve is a hyperbola (2D) or a hyperboloid (3D).
