Using SVD for improved interferometric Green's function retrieval
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2013)Seismic interferometry (SI) is a technique used to estimate the Green’s function (GF) between two receiver locations, as if there were a source at one of the receiver locations. However, in many applications, the requirements ... -
Using SVD for improved interferometric Green’s function recovery.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2010)Seismic interferometry is a technique used to estimate the Green’s function (GF) between two receiver locations, as if there were a source at one of the locations. By crosscorrelating the recorded seismic signals at the ... -
