Abstract
Internal or interbed multiples can be predicted from reflection seismic data without a velocity model. The procedure involves a sequence of convolution and correlation operations on the input data, which can be understood in terms of combinations of sub-events, somewhat like its cousin SRME. In this presentation we will discuss how the multiples are predicted, and in particular consider the role of the search parameter epsilon in suppressing artifacts. In particular we will discuss why choosing it is difficult. By way of some simple synthetic and physical modelling lab data sets we will explore the effect of various choices of epsilon, and touch on ways we might refine it to make multiple prediction cleaner and more surgical in the future.
