TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview and a detailed description of the key logic steps and mathematical-physics framework behind the development of practical algorithms for seismic exploration derived from the inverse scattering series.

TL;DR: Weglein et al. as discussed by the authors combined a variant of the extinction theorem with a wavefield prediction technique to produce a direct method for deghosting towed streamer data through an integral of the pressure measurements along the cable.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose to use synthetic data and a velocity model that corresponds to what would be estimated from the data using current best velocity analysis techniques. But, their approach does not address the real-world problem of accurate location, resolution and identification of targets under complex media (e.g., salt, basalt and karsted sediments).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a velocity model for seismic depth imaging to produce a spatially accurate map of the geology below the Earth's surface, where the velocity model can be used to estimate the relative position of the objects in the image.

TL;DR: This paper extends and further analyzes the first of these two mappings, introduced, for 1D normal incidence, in Matson and later extended to two dimensions, in An Inverse Scattering Series for Attenuating Elastic Multiples from Multicomponent Land and Ocean Bottom Seismic Data.
