Abstract
Diffracted waves contain valuable information regarding both the structure and composition of the media they are in. In seismic data processing, however, these waves are usually regarded as noise. In this paper, we present an attempt to use scattered/diffracted waves for the detection of local heterogeneities. The method is based on the detection of diffracted waves by concentrating the signal amplitudes from diffracting points on the seismic section. This is done using a correlation procedure that enhances the amplitude of the seismic signal at the location of the diffractors on the common‐diffraction‐point section (D-section). The new local time correction for diffraction traveltime curve parameterization is based on the radius of curvature of the diffracted wavefront and near‐surface velocity. We use the idea of seismic monitoring for detection and delineating local objects which may occur within the subsurface resulting from human activity or fast geological processes. The method consists of continuous repetition of seismic experiments above an investigated area, constructing D-sections, and comparing the images obtained.
