Angle-domain common image gathers (ADCIGs) describe the reflectivity variation over reflection angles which are important for seismic exploration. The ADCIGs could be obtained using reverse time migration (RTM). However, because of the limitation of seismic frequency band and acquisition geometry, RTM produces the ADCIGs with low fidelity. We propose a reflection angle-domain pseudoextended least-squares RTM method to improve the quality of the ADCIGs in which the Poynting vector is used to efficiently calculate the angles. We first extend the inverted model in the reflection angle domain and derive a feasible pseudoextended Born modeling operator which can map the reflection angle-domain extended model to seismic data. The modeling operator, associated with an adjoint operator, are then used to build a pseudoextended linearized inversion framework for inverting the angle-dependent reflectivity. Taking advantage of the simplicity and coherency of the ADCIGs, we impose a series of low-rank constraints on the extended angle dimension and a sparse constraint on the whole dimension to ensure the production of high-quality ADCIGs. The proposed method is finally solved by a regularized conjugate gradient algorithm. We conduct several numerical examples on a flat layer model, the Marmousi model, and the Sigsbee2A salt model to test the validity and superiority of the proposed method. The results demonstrate that the proposed method could produce the ADCIGs and the stacked image with higher fidelity than RTM, which provides a reliable input for migration velocity analysis, anisotropic model building, and amplitude versus angle analysis.
