Goafs are threats to safe mining.Their imaging effects or those of other complex geological bodies are often poor in conventional reflected wave images.Hence,accurate detection of goafs has become an important problem,to be solved with a sense of urgency.Based on scattering theory,we used an equivalent offset method to extract Common Scattering Point gathers,in order to analyze different scattering wave characteristics between Common Scattering Point and Common Mid Point gathers and to compare stack and migration imaging effects.Our research results show that the scattering wave imaging method is more efficient than the conventional imaging method and is therefore a more effective imaging method for detecting goafs and other complex geological bodies.It has important implications for safe mining procedures and infrastructures.
