Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of seismic migration imaging, specifically relating to a VTI medium least squares reverse time migration method and system suitable for the Adam gradient optimization algorithm. Background Technology
[0002] Least squares reverse time migration (LSTM) can solve the imaging problem of reverse time migration as a least squares inversion problem. It uses an iterative algorithm to find an imaging result that best matches the observed seismic data. It has advantages such as suppressing migration noise, improving deep imaging, enhancing the continuity and uniformity of phase axes, and improving amplitude fidelity. Therefore, LSTM has great potential for future practical applications. However, most conventional LSTM methods are based on isotropic media for inversion, while real subsurface media often exhibit anisotropic characteristics. LSTM based on the isotropic media assumption does not reflect reality. Therefore, LSTM based on the anisotropic parameters of VTI media, which better reflects actual geological conditions, has become a research hotspot in the field of geophysics.

C 33 and C 55 An approximation, it is not a true model of the P-wave and S-wave reflection coefficients, and because... C 33 and C 55 The magnitude of these reflections is extremely large, and their convergence is very slow, resulting in poor migration imaging results that often fail to meet the imaging accuracy requirements of industry. Therefore, it is extremely important to reconstruct suitable P-wave and S-wave reflection coefficient models and select appropriate acceleration and optimization algorithms. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Furthermore, in the fifth step, the gradients of the P-wave and S-wave reflection coefficient models are optimized using the Adam optimization algorithm formula (5) in deep learning to obtain the optimized gradients. In formula (5) g k Gradient before processing g pp and g ps , G k Represents the processed gradient G pp and G ps , and These represent the hyperparameters controlling the average exponential decay rate of the gradient term and the squared gradient term, respectively, and their values are [values to be filled in]. , , s 0=0, r 0=0, This indicates element-wise multiplication.
