Abstract

People now are paying much more attention to the geophysical tomography technique, which is a very useful tool used to explore and reconstruct subsurface structures. The methods used in the past in geophysics, are usually not unique. Because of the uniqueness of tomography technique in math, many scientists have been attracted to make it useful in geophysics. Although in actual geophysical situations, the projection are uncompleted, therefore the results are still not unique. However we can do better now than before, if we use tomography technique.
