Abstract: Seismic migration is a technique widely used in seismic oil exploration for wavefield reconstruction and for imaging the geometrical distribution of the reflection surfaces within the Earth from the seismic data recorded on the Earth surface. These data are usually corrupted by noise (white noise, surface waves, multiple reflections, etc.) that degrades the result of the migration. Another factor which influences the migration is the inadequate knowledge of the distribution of the acoustic wave propagation velocity in the subsurface of the Earth. The authors use estimation theory techniques to find the MAP (maximum a posterior) estimate of the wave propagation velocity and the geometrical distribution of the subsurface reflector points.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
