The use of iterative improvement is the well-known method commonly used in cases in which one must know the answer to find the answer. The images generated by migration should be representative of the physical earth. Any observable discrepancies are used as forcing functions in an iterative improvement method. Sometimes simple adjustments can be made, and other times, the whole imaging process has to be redone one or more times before a satisfactory solution can be obtained. In other words, interplay occurs between seismic processing and seismic interpretation - a manifestation of the well-accepted exchange between the disciplines of geophysics and geology (Ulrych and Clayton, 1976[1]; Russell, 1988[2]).
