Uncertainty loops in travel-time tomography from nonlinear wave physics.
Estimating image uncertainty is fundamental to guiding the interpretation of geoscientific tomographic maps. We reveal novel uncertainty topologies (loops) which indicate that while the speeds of both low- and high-velocity anomalies may be well constrained, their locations tend to remain uncertain. The effect is widespread: loops dominate around a third of United Kingdom Love wave tomographic ...
متن کاملReal-time Reflection and Refraction on a Per-vertex Basis
This paper proposes a novel method for real-time rendering of polygon mesh surfaces with reflection or refraction. The basic process is similar to dynamic environment mapping or cube mapping. Our proposed method is superior to those in that the accurate ray direction is reflected in the resulted image at every vertex on the mesh. Existing real-time techniques suffer from the differences between...
متن کاملReflection, Refraction and the Prism
Huygens’ principle can be used to determine various experimentally verifiable and predictable behavior of the path of light through any optical system. However, as seen in the chapter on Light, the Huygens wavefront construction can be become complicated, especially in systems with a large number of optical components. A simpler approach to track the behavior of light is based on the propagatio...
متن کاملTravel Time Inversion in Seismic Tomography
The word tomography finds its origins in the two Greek words tomos, meaning section, and graphy, which translates as drawing. There are many different types of tomography used in many sciences such as medicine, biology, materials science and geology. The basic idea of tomography in all of its uses is to obtain a cross-section of an object which will then be used to infer various facts regarding...
متن کاملTravel time estimation methods for mode tomography
At long ranges, broadband receptions consist of early ray-like arrivals and a finale that is best described in terms of the low order modes. The energetic low mode signals are more strongly affected by internal wave scattering than the ray arrivals. By focusing on the low modes, this project seeks to develop a better understanding of internal wave effects. The first objective of this project is...
