Abstract

In this paper, an interest is taken in determining the wave velocity and the shape of an interface of a geological layer from travel time measures. We start with the forward problem represented by the Eikonal equation and its resolution using the method of characteristics. Next follows a description of the inverse problem formulated as a constrained nonlinear least squares problem. The optimization method us the genetic algorithm. Results corresponding to a seismic survey along the Moroccan coast are presented in this paper.
