Abstract

A method for computing amplitude independent gradient for seismic velocity inversion in a frequency domain includes receiving seismic data associated with a region. The region comprises one or more earth subsurface layers represented by a plurality of points, and each point is associated with a seismic velocity. Seismic velocities at the plurality of points are determined by iteratively updating the seismic velocities based on a plurality of gradient values, where each gradient value corresponds to a point and is determined by evaluating a gradient of an objective function at a location of thepoint. A seismic image of the one or more earth subsurface layers is displayed based on the determined seismic velocities.

Description

[0001] priority claim [0002] This application claims priority to US Application No. 62 / 509,300, filed May 22, 2017, and US Application No. 15 / 956,261, filed April 18, 2018, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to seismic data processing. Background technique [0004] Velocity inversion is often used to build a reliable seismic velocity model for a target area, which can be used to image the subsurface structure of the target area. Ray tomography is a widely used velocity inversion method that exploits travel time information in recorded seismic data. However, ray tomography often requires manual picking of arrival events, which is time-consuming and often makes 3D model building unaffordable in practice. Additionally, ray-based inversion cannot handle complex regions, such as those with complex subsurface structures. A wave-based inversion method was also used. However, the full wavef...
