A method for verifying the accuracy of a wave velocity model. The method may include generating an extended image using the wave velocity model, operating on the extended image using an annihilator, where the extended images represent a geophysical field, and determining if the extended image obeys at least one physical characteristic. In the event that the extended image does not obey at least one physical characteristic the method may include recreating or altering the wave velocity model accordingly.
