Abstract
In the seismic tomography problem, the subsurface slowness distribution is estimated from the travel-times computed along generally curved rays. For a dense and uniform set of rays, the slowness distribution will be correctly reconstructed. However, for an uneven distribution of rays, the estimated slowness distribution may be influenced by the ray configuration.
