Full waveform inversion (FWI) of seismic or Ground Penetrating Radar data provides high-resolution quantitative images of the constitutive parameters of the rock/soil which control seismic/GPR wave propagation. We developed a 2D inversion tool in the frequency domain adapted to the multi-parameter physics controlling GPR propagation in isotropic non dispersive media, i.e. dielectric permittivit...

iran is situated in one of the world's seismic regions and the possibility of destructive earthquakes in most regions of the country has given great significance to recognition of iranian seismic nature from a seismic and seismotectonic standpoint. study of the crust and upper mantle velocity structure in the iranian plateau provides better understanding of its evolution and tectonic histo...

Seismic waveforms contain much information that is ignored under standard processing schemes; seismic waveform inversion seeks to use the full information content of the recorded wavefield. In this paper I present, apply, and evaluate a frequency-space domain approach to waveform inversion. The method is a local descent algorithm that proceeds from a starting model to refine the model in order ...

We present a new seismic inversion method that uses deep learning (DL) features for the subsurface velocity model estimation. The DL feature is low-dimensional representation of high-dimensional data, which automatically generated by convolutional autoencoder (CAE) and preserved in latent space. contains key information input data. Therefore, instead directly comparing waveform differences betw...

We consider a Bayesian model for doing lithology–fluid prediction from prestack (amplitude versus offset) seismic data. Related to the Bayesian model, we look at two inversion algorithms. The first algorithm simulates from the posterior distribution with no approximations, but the algorithm is quite computer demanding. The second inversion algorithm introduces an approximation in the likelihood...

A method to estimate S-wave interval velocity, using P-S seismic data is presented. The method is composed of three steps. First, the P-S data are converted to a relative change in S-velocity section. The section is then linearized. Constrained inversion is used to convert this last section to S-interval velocity. To illustrate the method, the S velocity of a field data set was derived, and a V...

The word tomography finds its origins in the two Greek words tomos, meaning section, and graphy, which translates as drawing. There are many different types of tomography used in many sciences such as medicine, biology, materials science and geology. The basic idea of tomography in all of its uses is to obtain a cross-section of an object which will then be used to infer various facts regarding...
