Abstract
By solving the Marchenko equations, one can retrieve the Greenâs function (Marchenko Greenâs function) between a virtual receiver in the subsurface and points at the surface (no physical receiver is required at the virtual location). We extend the idea behind these equations to retrieve the Greenâs function between any two points in the subsurface, i.e., between a virtual source and a virtual receiver (no physical source or physical receiver is required at either of these locations). This Greenâs function is called the virtual Greenâs function, and it includes all primary, internal, and free-surface multiples. Similar to the Marchenko Greenâs function, this virtual Greenâs function requires the reflection response at the surface (single-sided illumination) and an estimate of the first-arrival traveltime from the virtual locations to the surface. These Greenâs functions can be used to image the interfaces from above and below.
