Abstract
One of the most serious problems in anisotropic velocity analysis is the trade-off between anisotropy and lateral heterogeneity, especially if velocity varies on a scale smaller than spreadlength. Here, we develop a P-wave MVA (migration velocity analysis) algorithm for transversely isotropic (TI) models that include layers with small-scale lateral heterogeneity. Each layer is described by constant parameters e and δ and the symmetry-direction velocity V0 that varies as a quadratic function of the distance along the layer boundaries. For tilted TI media (TTI), the symmetry axis is taken orthogonal to the reflectors.
