The anelasticity and anisotropy widely exist in real subsurface media. Strong anelasticity will lead to phase dispersion and amplitude attenuation during seismic wave propagation. Anisotropy cause seismic waves to have obviously different kinematic characteristics from that of isotropy. For seismic migration, ignoring the anelasticity and anisotropy of subsurface media will significantly reduce the quality of migration images, even cause imaging failure. We propose a Q-compensated least-squares reverse time migration (Q-LSRTM) in tilted transversely isotropic (TTI) media to correct these effects. According to the Born approximation of seismic wave equation, a linearized visco-acoustic TTI pure qP-wave modeling operator is derived using a new visco-acoustic TTI wave equation for one standard linear solid (SLS) model, which can deal with the anelasticity and can simulate pure qP-wave steadily in attenuating anisotropic media without qSV-wave artifacts. Then, the corresponding adjoint equation is formulated using the adjoint-state method to calculate the gradient sensitivity kernel for the visco-acoustic TTI media. Because of the least-squares inversion, the Q compensation can be achieved during the iterations, so that the over-amplification of noises can be avoided naturally. In addition, compared with conventional LSRTM, the proposed method compensates for the anelasticity and corrects the anisotropy, so as to produce images with better spatial resolution and amplitude fidelity. Numerical examples demonstrate the feasibility and advantages of the proposed method for the data including strong attenuation effects over conventional LSRTM.
