Ambient noise imaging has been a revolutionary and transformative technique in seismology in the last two decades, and its extensive application has greatly promoted the understanding of the Earth’s internal structure. The traditional ambient imaging method entails recording vibration signals in multiple stations simultaneously and extracting useful seismic wave signals from chaotic “noises”. In real fieldwork, this method is not applicable as it is virtually impossible to set up a large numb...
