Congratulations to Wren Wightman and co-authors for their published work in IEEE T-UFFC, on achieving better shear wave speed reconstructions using point slowness versus velocity. This work shows us that estimating shear wave speed using the slowness of a wave (dt/dx) rather than velocity components (dx/dt) allows for similar SWS estimation accuracy with data that has 10x lower SNR!
