Abstract
This chapter discusses imaging methods related to wave phenomena, and in particular, inverse problems for the wave equation will be considered. The first part of the chapter explains the boundary control method for determining a wave speed of a medium from the response operator, which models boundary measurements. The second part discusses the scattering relation and travel times, which are different types of boundary data contained in the response operator. The third part gives a brief introduction to curvelets in wave imaging for media with nonsmooth wave speeds. The focus will be on theoretical results and methods.
