Scattering-angle based filtering of the waveform inversion gradients

T Alkhalifah - Geophysical Journal International, 2014 - academic.oup.com
Full waveform inversion (FWI) requires a hierarchical approach to maneuver the complex
non-linearity associated with the problem of velocity update. In anisotropic media, the non …

Mapping full seismic waveforms to vertical velocity profiles by deep learning

V Kazei, O Ovcharenko, P Plotnitskii, D Peter, X Zhang… - Geophysics, 2021 - library.seg.org
Building realistic and reliable models of the subsurface is the primary goal of seismic
imaging. We have constructed an ensemble of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to …

Application of a complete workflow for 2D elastic full-waveform inversion to recorded shallow-seismic Rayleigh waves

L Groos, M Schäfer, T Forbriger, T Bohlen - Geophysics, 2017 - library.seg.org
The S-wave velocity of the shallow subsurface can be inferred from shallow-seismic

Simultaneous inversion of the background velocity and the perturbation in full-waveform inversion

Z Wu, T Alkhalifah - Geophysics, 2015 - library.seg.org
The gradient of standard full-waveform inversion (FWI) attempts to map the residuals in the
data to perturbations in the model. Such perturbations may include smooth background …

Correlation-based reflection full-waveform inversion

B Chi, L Dong, Y Liu - Geophysics, 2015 - library.seg.org
Because modeling for full-waveform inversion (FWI) cannot produce reflections unless the
velocity model has the scattering potential (high wavenumbers), using a …

The role of attenuation in 2D full-waveform inversion of shallow-seismic body and Rayleigh waves

L Groos, M Schäfer, T Forbriger, T Bohlen - Geophysics, 2014 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
