ABSTRACT:
A method for determining a representation of an anisotropic earth formation is described, wherein the inversion step for generating the representation from recorded seismic data is performed using several values of a pre-defined anisotropy parameter addition to components of the moveout velocity. The anisotropy parameter is preferably introduced into the moveout equation or dispersion relation, which in turn is used in the inversion process. A more accurate representation of earth
