Abstract
We present a new band-limited ray tracing method that aims to overcome some of the limitations of the standard high frequency ray tracing in complex velocity models that particularly contains complex boundaries. Our method is based on band-limited Snell’s law, which is derived from the Kirchhoff integral formula by localization around a boundary location of interest using Fresnel volume.
