Setting tsig to tsg can get migration in a CIG(bb)
For this shot and receiver pair, the arrival time of the actual reflection (LHS of equation), will have to match the “migration time” where it is put in the migrated image (RHS of equation).

The intersections of the tilted migration ellipses

Diagram showing the intersections of the tilted migration ellipses with a CIG. (a) For the migration velocity equal to the true velocity (2500m/s). (b) For a slower migration velocity (2000m/s)
Wrong Migration Velocity Pulls in the Wrong Data
14
Numerical examples for residual moveout in a single receiver offset with a CIG (bb=-500m). (a) For the migration velocity equal to the true velocity (2500m/s). (b) For a slower migration velocity (2000m/s). The red curve is the solution to the MI equation. The extreme point will be the depth of migrated reflector.
