Efficient Smoothing and Interpolation of Velocity Models for Seismic Wavefront Construction Algorithms

The wavefront construction (WFC) method is an effective tool to compute seismic ray fields and has wide applications. This paper applies the WFC method to a heterogeneous earth model represented as a 3-D grid instead of a sequence of smooth layers, as the layered model is insufficient for the region...
