The possibility and accuracy of the calculation of the first-arrival travel times and the ray-theory travel times is demonstrated on two INRIA bench-mark versions of the 2-D Marmousi model. The two models differ considerably in the degree of global smoothness.
First-arrival travel times, ray-theory travel times, ray tracing, seismic models.
