pre-proejct: 3D ray-based seismic imaging in complex geologies

Ray-based methods are often seen as not accurate enough for the imaging of complex geology. However, proper implementations can mitigate the inherent limits of those methods. Velocity model estimation and imaging are concerned. Both rely on an optimized and accurate seismic migration code. Both ...
