Inversion of acoustic data using a combination of genetic algorithms and the Gauss-Newton approach
نویسنده
چکیده
An inversion procedure for obtaining speeds, attenuation, densities, and thicknesses for a layered medium is described. The inversion is carried out using the least-squares technique and the forward modeling is based on SAFARI. The optimization is a hybrid method combining the global genetic algorithms and the local Gauss-Newton method. This is done by taking several gradient steps between each update of the object function for each "individual" in the population. The gradients for the Gauss-Newton method are computed analytically; this makes the computation faster and more stable than computing the gradients by numerical differentiation. The combination of a global and a local method makes the hybrid method faster and it gets closer to the global minimum than a pure global method. Examples based on both real and synthetic data in wave-number-frequency and range-frequency domains show that the method works well.

A new method for 3-D magnetic data inversion with physical bound
Inversion of magnetic data is an important step towards interpretation of the practical data. Smooth inversion is a common technique for the inversion of data. Physical bound constraint can improve the solution to the magnetic inverse problem. However, how to introduce the bound constraint into the inversion procedure is important. Imposing bound constraint makes the magnetic data inversion a n...

متن کاملSolving the local positioning problem using a four-layer artificial neural network
Today, the global positioning systems (GPS) do not work well in buildings and in dense urban areas when there is no lines of sight between the user and their satellites. Hence, the local positioning system (LPS) has been considerably used in recent years. The main purpose of this research is to provide a four-layer artificial neural network based on nonlinear system solver (NLANN) for local pos...
متن کاملLarge-scale Gauss-Newton inversion of transient controlled-source electromagnetic data using the model reduction framework
The main cost of Gauss-Newton (GN) inversion of timedomain controlled-source electromagnetic (tCSEM) data is comprised of the multiple solutions of the forward problem and linear-algebraic operations using the Jacobian matrix. For large-scale 2.5D and 3D problems with multiple sources and receivers, this cost grows enormously for inversion algorithms using conventional finite-difference time-do...
