We present a migration method using one-way propagators and lateral adaptive windows for handling the large velocity contrasts associated with salt-sediment interfaces. Using the adaptive windowing, we can handle the large perturbations locally in a similar fashion as the Beamlet propagator, hence limiting the impact of the errors on the global wavefield. We illustrate the performance of our method by applying it to synthetic data from the SEG/EAGE salt model.
