Introduction of "High-Definition seismic tomography" and its applications


Abstract
Tomographic inversion method is now widely applied in seismic refraction survey for engineering purposes. There remain, however, problems to be solved, for instance in accurate picking of travel-time, in appropriate handling of data-reliability, and in skillful manipulation of uneven spatial illumination. We, therefore, introduce "High-Definition seismic tomography (HD-tomography)" to solve such problems, and numerically study the applicability of the technique for two tough structures. As a result we observe that the HD-tomography exhibits high performance in the given hard condition.
