Linearized inversion provides one possible sense of image amplitude correctness. An
image or bandlimited model perturbation has correct amplitudes if it is an approximate …

Multidimensional inversion algorithms are presented for both prestack and poststack data
gathered on a single line. These algorithms both image the subsurface (ie, give a migrated …

In the acoustic approximation, the Earth is described using only density and bulk modulus.
Assuming smooth density variations, reflections can be described using a single function …

Intrinsic absorption in the earth affects the amplitude and phase spectra of the seismic
wavefields and records, and may degrade significantly the results of acoustic full-waveform …

Using the single-scattering approximation we invert for the material parameters of an
acoustic two-parameter medium and then for a three-parameter isotropic elastic medium …

Seismic data enable imaging of the Earth, not only of velocity and density but also of
attenuation contrasts. Unfortunately, the Born approximation of the constant-density visco …

Visco-acoustic waveform inversion can potentially yield quantitative images of the
distribution of both velocity and the attenuation parameters from seismic data. Intrinsic P …

Integral equation approaches to acoustic imaging within the Born or Kirchhoff approximation
give compact algorithms for depth migration, using pre-calculated Green's functions. They …

Full-waveform inversion produces highly resolved images of the subsurface and quantitative
estimation of seismic wave velocity, provided that its initial model is kinematically accurate at …

We present an acoustic migration/inversion algorithm that uses extended double-square-
root wave-equation migration and modeling operators to minimize a constrained least …
