SmartTomo is an efficient software for processing seismic refraction tomography (SRT). It includes an advanced tool to display and customize the results. The output is the product of the iterative optimization of the starting model. Additionally, the user can define the initial model to fit the geological knowledge of the survey area.

SmartTomo uses an optimized implementation of the method by Moser, T. J. (“Shortest path calculation of seismic rays.” Geophysics 56.1 (1991): 59-67) and refines the results through a specialized Simultaneous Iterative Reconstruction Technique. To guarantee efficiency, it exploits the computational power of modern multicore CPUs while minimizing the required amount of memory.

  • Both manual and automatic first break picking, giving full control when needed and speed when it isn’t.
  • The tomographic computation can be almost fully automated; the user only needs to review the automatic picks and can supervise the process or apply specialized settings where required.
  • Multiple seismic arrays can be combined into a single, unified seismic profile.
  • The initial velocity model can be user-defined.
  • The initial model does not significantly affect the final result.
  • Project size is limited only by available memory.
  • Users can set velocity range limits and smooth the result.
  • Results can be plotted using predefined or user-defined color palettes.
  • Both plots and data tables can be exported in multiple formats (PNG, PDF, ODT, DXF, SVG).
  • The tomographic profile can be exported as an XZ-Velocity and directly in GRD a file format compatible with Surfer (Golden Software).
