Computer migration of seismic data emerged in the late 1960s as a natural outgrowth of manual migration techniques based on wavefront charts and diffraction curves. Summation (integration) along a diffraction hyperbola was recognized as a way to automate the familiar point‐to‐point coordinate transformation performed by interpreters in mapping reflections from the x, t (traveltime) domain into the x, z (depth domain). We will discuss the mathematical formulation of migration as a solution to the scalar wave equation in which surface seismic observations are the known boundary values. Solution of this boundary value problem follows standard techniques, and the migrated image is expressed as a surface integral over the known seismic observations when areal or 3-D overage exists. If only 2-D seismic coverage is available, wave equation migration is still possible by assuming the subsurface and hence surface recorded data do not vary perpendicular to the seismic profile. With this assumption, the surface inte...
