Abstract

Tomographic inversion forms the basis of all contemporary methods of updating velocity models for depth imaging. Over the past 10 years, ray-based tomography has evolved to support production of reasonably reliable images for data from complex environments for models with modest lateral velocity variation scale lengths. In this tutorial, the basics of ray-based tomography are described along with the concepts behind full waveform tomography.
