This paper focuses on the concept of using blended data and multiple scattering directly in the migration process, meaning that the blended input data for the proposed migration algorithm includes blended surface-related multiples. It also means that both primary and multiple scattering contribute to the seismic image of the subsurface. Essential in our approach is that multiples are not included in the Green’s functions but are part of the incident wavefields, utilizing the so-called double illumination property. We find that complex incident wavefields, such as blended primaries and/or blended multiples, require a reformulation of the imaging principle in order to provide broadband angle-dependent reflection properties.
