Seismic imaging with generalized Radon transforms: stability of the Bolker condition

Abstract:Generalized Radon transforms are Fourier integral operators which are used, for instance, as imaging models in geophysical exploration. They appear naturally when linearizing about a known background compression wave speed. In this work we first consider a linearly increasing background velocity in two spatial dimensions. We verify the Bolker condition for the zero-offset scanning geometry and provide meaningful arguments for it to hold even if the common offset is positive. Based on this result we suggest an … Show more
