Abstract

The goal of seismic imaging is to recover structures underground via waves emitted from source points and received by sensors. Through the use of the elliptic Radon transform and an approximation to its inverse, images called reconstructions of the underground surfaces can be generated. We delve into some of the theory that allows for images to be made as well as giving reason to why singularities and artifacts appear in the reconstructions. With a known object modeled via a density function, this thesis explores features of reconstructions constructed with a fixed source and discrete receivers. The reconstructions were computed in MATLAB.
