Abstract
We present an alternative formalisation of the ray-tracing equations, using Finsler geometry elements. As the employement of classical geometry in seismic rays has faced not few problems in the past, we generalize the ray-tracing equations on the basis of the geometry of a total bundle. This new approach may lead to a more effective way to handle tomographic problems in anisotropic media.
