Bandlimited raypaths: an example
, by Marta Jo Woodward
SEP-57 proposed projecting traveltime picked from bandlimited-wavelet peaks back over
vandlimited raypaths. These bandlimited raypaths were defined as averages of the imaginary
parts of monochromatic, Rytov wavepaths over frequency. This paper relates bandlimited
raypaths to the Uncertainty Principle, and provides an example comparing ray and
bandlimited-ray inversion. The example illustrates several characteristics of bandlimited
raypaths, including their incorporation of wavefront healing and their natural smoothing
of inversion.
