description Multiple reflections contain abundant structural information about the subsurface because of their smaller reflection angles and wider coverage. Multiple imaging has increasingly attracted attention. However, the imaging of multiples first needs to separate the multiples, which is a time-consuming and high-cost job. Therefore, the simultaneous imaging of primaries and multiples, which can make good use of multiple reflections with no need for multiple separation, has increasingly attracted attention. However, there are still some challenges to the conventional method, including wavelet selection and image artifacts suppression. In this paper, an improved method of the simultaneous imaging of primaries and multiples is proposed by introducing two creative strategies. First, considering that the wavelet, which is usually estimated by signal analysis under certain assumptions, is crucial to the simultaneous imaging, we propose to estimate the wavelet by iterative SRME (surface-related multiple elimination) using the original data containing multiples based on wave equation theory instead of signal analysis. Second, the stereographic imaging condition is introduced to suppress the crosstalk artifacts in the image. According to the numerical examples and field data test, the feasibility and effectiveness of our approach is verified.
