Full waveform inversion based on morphological component analysis seismic data reconstruction

Full waveform inversion of crosswell seismic data using automatic differentiation

Full waveform inversion (FWI) is an effective and efficient data-fitting technique that has been widely used to produce accurate estimation of model parameters in Geophysics. The efficiency and accuracy of FWI are determined by the three main components: numerical solution for forward problem, gradient calculation and model update which usually involves the optimization method. The success of t...

On Time-harmonic Seismic Data and Blending in Full Waveform Inversion

In this paper, we study the relationship between the acquisition of time-harmonic seismic data and the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for the Helmholtz equation in dimension n ≥ 3. This relationship is established through the introduction of a single-layer potential operator. We analyze its properties with a view to so-called iterative full waveform inversion based on the Hilbert-Schmidt norm, that i...

Full waveform seismic inversion using a distributed system of computers

The aim of seismic waveform inversion is to estimate the elastic properties of the Earth’s subsurface layers from recordings of seismic waveform data. This is usually accomplished by using constrained optimization often based on very simplistic assumptions. Full waveform inversion uses a more accurate wave propagation model but is extremely difficult to use for routine analysis and interpretati...
