ConclusionsConclusions
23
• Beylkin’s ray-based spatial resolution analysis can provide accurate resolution limits for both homogeneous and smooth heterogeneous models in this study.
• For a homogeneous model, vertical resolution is constant while horizontal resolution degrades with depth.
• For a heterogeneous model, both vertical and horizontal resolutions generally degrade with depth since the velocity value is getting higher.
