Hyperbolic Radon Transform Tests

I tested the proposed TLS algorithm on a popular SEP inversion application, the Hyperbolic Radon Transform (HRT) Guitton (2000b); Lumley et al. (1995); Nichols (1994). Figures [*] and [*] compare the results of the TLS, LS, and DLS methods, for 10 and 150 CG iterations, respectively.

The results of the HRT tests are inconclusive. After 10 iterations, the results from the three methods are almost indistinguishable. After 50, the DLS model looks ``best,'' i.e., most interpretable by a human for picking velocities. However, the TLS residual error is the whitest, the best balanced, and contains no correlated energy-the very criteria which Guitton (2000a) uses to define optimality.
