Abstract

A

3D Kirchhoff migration and acoustic Born inversion of zero‐offset seismic data in a constant‐velocity medium can be uniformly factored as a cascade of two 2D diffraction integrals. The formal argument is based on a straightforward implementation of the original time‐domain approach of Gibson, Larner and Levin. The factorization differs from the factorization described by Jakubowicz and Levin in omitting all time‐dependent filters from the 2D operators in favour of ID filtrations performed as a preprocess and a postprocess.
