Description and Table of Contents
Description
Prospecting for oil begins with seismic soundings. The echoes are computer processed into images that reveal much about the earth's geological history. "Imaging the Earth's Interior" describes the image-making process. Professor Claerbout was the first to use the wave equation of physics directly in the image-making process, and his finite difference implementation quickly became an industry standard. His graduate research group at Stanford University has been at the forefront of subsequent developments, many of which are described in this book. It is intended for students entering earth sciences from other areas, earth science professionals, and professionals in other fields in which waves and images are studied. It will also be useful to data recording engineers and to geologists who need to understand the opportunities and limitations of image creation and enhancement processes. The book strikes a balance between current industry practice and unrealized research goals.
