Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for using full waveform inversion for imaging surveyed mediums are provided. The full waveform inversion uses a Sifrian functional to fully leverage Hessian information and update a model by augmenting and assembling data derived from the Sifrian functional when equilibrated. The Sifrian inversion produces high resolution images of the surveyed medium typically only seen with full Hessian inversions and can produce such images without requiring supercomputer computation power or extremely long computation time.
Claims20
A method for waveform imaging comprising:
- receiving, by a computing system, observed data from a surveyed medium via a plurality of sensors;
- obtaining, by the computing system, an available model of the surveyed medium;
- generating, by the computing system, synthetic data using the available model;
- comparing, by the computing system, the synthetic data to the observed data;
- iteratively updating the available model, using a Sifrian inversion, based on the comparing of the synthetic data to the observed data;
- and
- generating, by the computing system, a final model or a final image of the surveyed medium using the updated available model.
A system for waveform imaging and model building comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory having programming instruction stored thereon, which, when executed by the processor, causes the system to perform operations comprising:
- receiving observed data from a surveyed medium via a plurality of sensors;
- obtaining an available model of the surveyed medium;
- generating synthetic data using the available model;
- comparing the synthetic data to the observed data;
- iteratively updating the available model, using a Sifrian inversion, based on the comparing of the synthetic data to the observed data;
- and
- generating a final model or a final image of the surveyed medium using the updated available model.
