With the rapid development of the national economy, the consumption of oil and gas resources continues to grow. Seismic exploration mainly based on oil and gas resources, engineering construction, etc. will all cause a large amount of vibrations to generate seismic wave signals. Since the vibration sources are unknown and have a greater impact on engineering construction and the environment, therefore, how to quickly and accurately locate the vibration sources is of great significance for industrial production, engineering operations, security, etc.

Here, the new seismic wave data S′ m,i,k (χ R,i ,t i ,t0), is represented as S′ P,i,k (χ R,i ,t i ,t0) and S′ S,i,k (χ R,i ,t i ,t0) in terms of P-waves and S-waves respectively.

[0108]
[0109] According to different observation scenarios, the coefficients of a, b, c, d1, and d2 are respectively set to obtain the precise location of the earthquake source. At the same time, during the inversion process, multiple iterations can also be performed, returning from step ⑥ to steps ④ and ⑤, as Figure 1 shown, so as to achieve the precise location of the earthquake source.
[0110] In addition, as Figure 1 shown, the initial location or precise location of the earthquake source can also be directly achieved according to steps ①③⑥, ①③④⑥, ①②④⑥, or ①②④⑤⑥.
