Imaging the Rupture Processes of Earthquakes Using the Relative Back-Projection Method Theory and Applications /

This thesis adopts the relative back-projection method to dramatically reduce "swimming" artifacts by identifying the rupture fronts in the time window of a reference station; this led to a faster and more accurate image of the rupture processes of earthquakes. Mitigating the damage caused...
