This paper provides a review of array-based imaging techniques that
use converted and scattered teleseismic waves. It addresses various
aspects of the imaging process, from the preprocessing of the data
to the application of the imaging algorithms. The reviewed techniques
form a continuum with respect to the level of complexity adopted
in the treatment of the scattering problem. On one end of the spectrum,
images may be produced by simple stacking of normalized P-to-S conversion
records (i.e., receiver functions), which are binned according to
station or common conversion points (CCP) and mapped to depth. Finer
resolution can be achieved through the stacking of singly scattered
wavefields along diffraction hyperbolae to recover relative scattering
intensity/potential at individual points through a 2-D or 3-D model
space. Moving to higher levels of complexity, we find methods that
involve inversion/backprojection of scattered teleseismic wavefield
to recover estimates of localized material property perturbations
with respect to an a priori background model.
