Seismic tomography based on visual perceptions of color, such as the change from orange to red being more subtle than blue to yellow. The degree of color saturation can also visually skew interpretations. These factors should be considered when analyzing images. Seismic tomography Seismic tomography is a technique for imaging the subsurface of the Earth with seismic waves produced by earthquakes or explosions. P-, S-, and surface waves can be used for tomographic models of different resolutions based on seismic wavelength, wave source distance, and the seismograph array coverage. The data received at seismometers are used to solve an inverse problem, wherein
Multidimensional seismic data processing seismic profile. This involves gathering seismic traces from points at the same depth and summing them. This is referred to as "Common depth-point stacking" or "Common midpoint stacking". Simply speaking, when these traces are merged, the background noise cancels itself out and the seismic signal add up, thus improving the SNR. Assuming a seismic wave formula_27 travelling upwards towards the surface, where formula_28 is the position on the surface and formula_29 is the depth. The wave's propagation is described by: formula_30 Migration refers to this wave's backward propagation. The two-dimensional Fourier transform of the wave at depth formula_31 is given
