A Slowness Matching Eulerian Method for Multivalued Solutions of Eikonal Equations
Traveltime, or geodesic distance, is locally the solution of the eikonal equation of geometric optics. However traveltime between sufficiently distant points is generically multivalued. Finite difference eikonal solvers approximate only the viscosity solution, which is the smallest value of the (multivalued) traveltime (‘‘first arrival time’’). The slowness matching method stitches together loc...
متن کاملWavefronts and solutions of the eikonal equation
S U M M A R Y In this paper, several methods for the solution of the eikonal equation are investigated. Using the method of characteristics, traveltimes are computed along rays. Approximate solutions of the eikonal equation can also be obtained. From Fermat’s principle, first-order changes in the traveltime can be found by integrating along initial ray trajectories. Alternatively, linearized ra...
متن کاملHuygens wavefront tracing: A robust alternative to ray tracing
Traveltime computation is widely used in seismic modeling, imaging and velocity analysis. The two most commonly used methods are ray tracingand numerical solutions to the eikonal equation. Eikonal solvers are fast and robust, but are limited to computing only the first arrival traveltimes. Ray tracing can compute multiple arrivals, but lacks the robustness of eikonal solvers. Here, we propose a...

متن کاملA Penalization-Regularization-Operator Splitting Method for Eikonal Based Traveltime Tomography
Abstract We propose a new methodology for carrying out eikonal-based traveltime tomography arising from important applications such as seismic imaging and medical imaging. The new method formulates the traveltime tomography problem as a variational problem for a certain cost functional explicitly with respect to both traveltime and sound speed. Furthermore, the cost functional is penalized to e...
