Figure 8 Summary plot for WEMVA using image perturbations constructed with different methods and with anomalies of increasing magnitude. From bottom to top we show the fat rays for the Born definition, the Rytov definition without phase unwrapping, the Rytov definition with phase unwrapping, and the differential definition. The magnitude of the slowness anomaly increases from left to right.
