Abstract
A method is proposed to detect and estimate the location of the spherical inclusion in the homogeneous isotopic elastic medium. The signals are emitted by ambient noise sources and recorded by a sensor array. The vector nature of elastic waves is exploited to find a proper imaging function to detect and locate the inclusion. We consider imaging of a spherical inclusion using seismic wave recordings.
