Abstract:

Research on seismic wave field decomposition and Gaussian de-noising and directional illumination in three- dimensional (3D) models will promote a wide application of seismic illumination based on the Poynting vector. In this paper, optimal angle illumination is found through obtaining the acquisition parameter by laying source in the target area, namely reversed illumination, then decomposing the wave field transmitting from best source position based on the Poynting vector, and using statistics on the energy of different angles. In addition, the de-noised wave filed obtained by Gaussian filter improves the stability and fidelity of wave field decomposition, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the method. Compared to the traditional ray-tracing illumination, illumination based on double way wave equation avoids high frequency approximation, whose information of wave field is more comprehensive compared with one-way wave equation and whose calculation is more efficient. With weighted de-noising, the fidelity and signal-to-noise ratio of the wave field are improved. Moreover, the method is developed in the 3D model to realize dip illumination and azimuth illumination. These results not only provide scientific basis for seismic observation system of complex 2D geological model, but also offer a base for future applications in optimization of 3D acquisition parameters, which is advantageous to promote applied domain of the Poynting vector.
