Summary
This paper presents the rst analysis, and direct depth
imaging and inversion algorithms for tasks associated
with primaries for a vertically varying velocity and
density acoustic medium. The method is derived from
the inverse scattering series, and, hence, assumes the
actual subsurface properties governing the propagation
of waves is neither known nor determined. The terms in
the series that correspond to tasks for imaging-only and
inversion-only are identied and separated. Tests with
analytic data indicate signicant added value, beyond
linear estimates, in terms of both the proximity to actual
properties and the increased range of angles over which
the improved estimates are valid.
Introduction
The ultimate objective of inverse problems is to determine medium and target properties from reection
data. However, that objective has never been achieved
in a straight ahead single step manner.
The only
direct multi-dimensional inversion procedure for seismic
application, is the task specic subseries of the inverse
scattering series. (Weglein et al., 2003). The order of
processing tasks is (1) free surface multiple removal;
(2) internal multiple removal; (3) imaging primaries
in space and (4) inversion. The free surface multiple
removal and internal multiple attenuation subseries have
been presented by Weglein et al. (1997). Those two
multiple removal procedures are model type independent.
Taking internal multiple algorithm from attenuation
to elimination is being studied (Ramirez and Weglein,
2005). In contrast with model type independent multiple
removal procedures, there is a full expectation that tasks
and algorithms associated with primaries will have a
closer interest in model type. For example, there is no
way to even imagine that medium property identication
can take place without reference to a specic model type.
A staged approach and isolation of tasks philosophy is
essential in this yet tougher neighborhood of primaries.
The stages within the strategy for primaries are as
follows: (1) 1D earth, with one parameter, velocity as a
function of depth, and a normal incidence wave (Shaw et
al., 2003); (2) 1D earth with one parameter subsurface
and oset data, one shot record (Shaw, 2005); (3) 2D
earth with one parameter, velocity, varying in x and z,
and a suite of shot records (Liu et al., 2005); (4) 1D
acoustic earth with two parameters varying, velocity
and density, one propagation velocity, and one shot
record of PP data, and (5) 1D elastic earth, two elastic

To illustrate task (4), target identication, we consider
a 1D acoustic two-parameter earth model (e.g. bulk
modulus and density or velocity and density). We start
with the 3D acoustic wave equations in the actual and
reference medium (Clayton and Stolt, 1981 and Weglein
et al., 1997)

Including terms beyond linear in the earth property identication subseries provides added value. Although the
model we used in the numerical test is simple, equations
(7) and (8) are also generalizable for multidimensional
media and complex targets. The inverse scattering
series is a direct inversion procedure which inverts data
independent of the properties of the target, without
assumptions such as smooth geometry or small contrast.
This work is a major step towards the realism for target
identication. The numerical results are encouraging
and this work will be extended to study the elastic case
using three parameters (see, e.g., Boyse, 1986 and Boyse
and Keller, 1986).
