We revisit geophysical diffraction tomography (GDT) and cast it into a
stochastic framework, in which the geophysical formation to be imaged
is modeled as a realization of a two-dimensional stationary random pr
ocess. It is shown that the optimum reconstruction algorithm, in both
the cases of offset vertical seismic profiling and well-to-well probin
g, attains a modified filtered backpropagation form.
