Abstract

We present a methodology that provides a new perspective on modeling and inversion of wave propagation satisfying time-reversal invariance and reciprocity in generally inhomogeneous media. The approach relies on a representation theorem of the wave equation to express the Green's function between points in the interior as an integral over the response in those points due to sources on a surface surrounding the medium. Following a predictable initial computational effort, Green's functions between arbitrary points in the medium can be computed as needed using a simple cross correlation algorithm.
