Shaping regularization in geophysical estimation problems
نویسنده
چکیده
Regularization is a required component of geophysical estimation problems that operate with insufficient data. The goal of regularization is to impose additional constraints on the estimated model. I introduce shaping regularization, a general method for imposing constraints by explicit mapping of the estimated model to the space of admissible models. Shaping regularization is integrated in a conjugate-gradient algorithm for iterative least-squares estimation. It provides the advantage of a better control on the estimated model in comparison with traditional regularization methods and, in some cases, leads to a faster iterative convergence. Simple data interpolation and seismic velocity estimation examples illustrate the concept. Presented at the SEG Annual Meeting in 2005

Iterative deblending of simultaneous-source seismic data using seislet-domain shaping regularization
We introduce a novel iterative estimation scheme for separation of blended seismic data from simultaneous sources. The scheme is based on an augmented estimation problem, which can be solved by iteratively constraining the deblended data using shaping regularization in the seislet domain. We formulate the forward modeling operator in the common receiver domain, where two sources are assumed to ...
متن کاملA Sparse Bayesian Estimation Framework for Conditioning Prior Geologic Models to Nonlinear Flow Measurements
We present a Bayesian framework for reconstruction of subsurface hydraulic properties from nonlinear dynamic flow data by imposing sparsity on the distribution of the solution coefficients in a compression transform domain. Sparse representation of the subsurface flow properties in a compression transform basis lends itself to a natural regularization approach, i.e. sparsity regularization, whi...

متن کاملOn model-space and data-space regularization: A tutorial
Constraining ill-posed inverse problems often requires regularized optimization. I describe two alternative approaches to regularization. The first approach involves a column operator and an extension of the data space. The second approach constructs a row operator and expands the model space. In large-scale problems, when the optimization is incomplete, the two methods of regularization behave...

Constraining ill-posed inverse problems often requires regularized optimization. We consider two alternative approaches to regularization. The first approach involves a column operator and an extension of the data space. It requires a regularization operator which enhances the undesirable features of the model. The second approach constructs a row operator and expands the model space. It employ...
