To achieve this, a set of coupled equations with four unknowns is solved. These coupled equations are separated into a set of two equations with two unknowns using a time window. The two unknown focusing functions can be resolved by an iterative or direct method. These focusing functions, when applied to reflection data, create virtual point-sources inside the medium. Combining individual virtual point-sources into a plane-wave leads to an efficient computation of images without internal multiples. In this study the internal multiples are eliminated in a redatuming step which is part of the imaging algorithm. To use the Marchenko algorithm with plane-wave focusing functions, the time window that separates the unknowns must be adapted. The design of the plane-wave Marchenko algorithm is explained and illustrated with numerically modeled and measured reflection data.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.17639v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.17639v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"design-implementation-and-application-of-the","repo_url":"https://gitlab.com/geophysicsdelft/opensource","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
