we inverse the surface gravity data to recover subsurface 3d density distribution with two strategy. in the first strategy, we assumed wide density model bound for inverting gravity data and in the second strategy, the inversion procedure have been carried out by limited bound density. wediscretize the earth model into rectangular cells of constant andunidentified density. the number of cells i...

We present two new techniques for the inversion of first-arrival times to estimate velocity structure. These travel-time inversion techniques are unique in that they do not require the calculation of ray paths. First-arrival times are calculated using a finite-difference scheme that iteratively solves the eikonal equations for the position of the wavefront. The first inversion technique is a di...

The genetic algorithm is of advantages to solve an inversion of complex non-linear geophysical equations. Its multi-point searching is able to find the globally optimal solution and avoid falling into a local extremum. The searching efficiency of the genetic algorithm is a key to successfully resolve a geophysical inversion problem in a huge model space with multi-parameters. Encoding mechanism...

Abstract— Invert acoustic data using sparse arrays at the limit with a single hydrophone is a challenging task. The final goal is to obtain a rapid environmental assessment with systems both easier to deploy and less expensive than full vertical arrays. In this paper, it is shown that using a known broadband source signal and an array with few hydrophones, ocean acoustic tomography can be perfo...

Acoustic-to-articulatory inversion is a difficult problem mainly because of the nonlinearity between the articulatory and acoustic spaces and the nonuniqueness of this relationship. To resolve this problem, we have developed an inversion method that provides a complete description of the possible solutions without excessive constraints and retrieves realistic temporal dynamics of the vocal trac...

We propose a method for recovering the shape of the mass power spectrum on large scales from the transmission fluctuations of the Lyman-alpha forest, which takes into account directly redshift-space distortions. The procedure, in discretized form, involves the inversion of a triangular matrix which projects the mass power spectrum in 3-D real-space to the transmission power spectrum in 1-D reds...

In many geodetic applications a large number of observations are being measured to estimate the unknown parameters. The unbiasedness property of the estimated parameters is only ensured if there is no bias (e.g. systematic effect) or falsifying observations, which are also known as outliers. One of the most important steps towards obtaining a coherent analysis for the parameter estimation is th...
