Reverse‐time migration applies finite‐difference wave equation solutions by using unaliased time‐reversed recorded traces as seismic sources. Recorded data can be sparsely or irregularly sampled relative to a finely spaced finite‐difference mesh because of the nature of seismic acquisition. Fortunately, reliable interpolation of missing traces is implicitly included in the reverse‐time wave equation computations. This implicit interpolation is essentially based on the ability of the wavefield to “heal itself” during propagation. Both synthetic and real data examples demonstrate that reverse‐time migration can often be performed effectively without the need for explicit interpolation of missing traces.
