ConclusionsExplicit wavefield extrapolators can be made local and

stable using Wiener filter theory.

The FOCI method designs an unstable forward operator that captures the phase accuracy and

stabilizes this with a band-limited inverse operator.

Reducing evanescent filtering increases stability.

Spatial resampling increases stability, improves operator accuracy, and reduces runtime.

The final method appears to be ~O(NlogN).

Very good images of Marmousi have been obtained.

Research DirectionsBetter phase accuracy.

Extension to 3D.

Extension to more accurate wavefield extrapolation schemes.

Migration velocity analysis.

Development of C/Fortran code on imaging engine.
