A03 APPLICATION OF 3D CRS STACKING TO ENHANCE IMAGING OF SPARSE 3D DATASETS Introduction In time domain seismic imaging the NMO/DMO stacking technique has been dominant for many decades. However the simple subsurface model of the NMO stack the loss in resolution by the DMO process and the dependence on a user-derived velocity model has motivated the search for alternative time domain imaging methods. 1 H.
