Equations 1-2 reduce to some well-known
approximations with special choices of parameters.
- If , the proposed approximation reduces to
the classic hyperbolic form
|
(11) |
which is a two-parameter approximation.
- The choice of parameters ; ; reduces the proposed
approximation to the shifted hyperbola (Malovichko, 1978; de Bazelaire, 1988; Castle, 1994), which is the following three-parameter
approximation:
|
(12) |
- The choice of parameters ;
;
reduces approximation 2 to the form
proposed by Alkhalifah and Tsvankin (1995) for VTI media, which is the following
three-parameter approximation:
|
(13) |
- The choice of parameters
; ; reduces approximation 2 to the following
three-parameter approximation suggested by Blias (2007) and
reminiscent of the ``velocity acceleration'' equation proposed by
Taner et al. (2005,2007):
|
(14) |
- The choice of parameters ; ; reduces the proposed approximation to the following
three-parameter approximation suggested by Blias (2009):
|
(15) |
- The choice of parameters ; reduces the proposed approximation to the following
three-parameter approximation also suggested by Blias (2009):
|
(16) |
- The choice of parameters
,
,
reduces the proposed
approximation to the double-square-root expression
where
,
, and
. Equation 17 describes
moveout precisely for the case of a diffraction point in a constant
velocity medium.
Thus, the proposed approximation encompasses some other known forms but
introduces more degrees of freedom for optimal fitting.
