Accelerating full-waveform inversion with attenuation compensation

TLDR
In this paper, the forward-propagated source wavefield and the residual wavefield were cross-correlated to calculate the gradient in full waveform inversion (FWI).
Abstract
The calculation of the gradient in full-waveform inversion (FWI) usually involves crosscorrelating the forward-propagated source wavefield and the back-propagated data residual wavefield at...

Modeling Frequency-Independent Q Viscoacoustic Wave Propagation in Heterogeneous Media

TL;DR: In this paper, a new viscoacoustic wave equation is proposed to quantify the attenuation in seismic data to push the resolution limits of seismic imaging and inversion, where the power terms of the fractional Laplacian operators are spatially independent, thus accurate and efficient methods such as the Fourier pseudospectral method can be adopted.

Multiscale seismic waveform inversion

TL;DR: The multigrid method is a technique that improves the performance of iterative inversion by decomposing the problem by scale as mentioned in this paper, where at long scales there are fewer local minima and those that remain are further apart from each other.

Constant Q-wave propagation and attenuation

TL;DR: In this article, a linear model for attenuation of waves is presented, with Q, or the portion of energy lost during each cycle or wavelength, exactly independent of frequency, where wave propagation is completely specified by two parameters, e.g., Q and c0, a phase velocity at an arbitrary reference frequency ω 0.
