Abstract
The application of the Born approximation to the
scattered wave field, followed by a WKBJ and far-field
approximation on the propagation Green's function for
a slowly varying background medium, leads to a simple
integral relation between the density and bulk-modulus
anomalies superimposed on the background medium
and the scattered wave field. An iterative inversion
scheme based on successive back-projections of the
wave field is used to reconstruct the two acoustic parameters.
The scheme, when applied to data generated
using the direct integral relation, shows that the variations
of the parameters can be reconstructed. The procedure
is readily applicable to actual data, since every
iterative step is essentially a prestack Kirchhoff migration
followed by the application of the direct Born
approximation and far-field operator.
