“…More recently, much attention has been paid to the enhancement and separation of diffractions from reflection data for many imaging purposes. Several approaches have been proposed, among them the use of antistationary filtering (Moser and Howard, 2008), plane-wave destruction filters (Fomel et al, 2007), multifocusing (MF) (Berkovitch et al, 2009), or the common reflection surface (CRS) (Asgedom et al, 2011a(Asgedom et al, , 2011b(Asgedom et al, , 2012a(Asgedom et al, , 2012b stacking methods. Because the diffracted events are known to carry high-resolution information about the subsurface, their optimal use in imaging is an important topic.…”
