Full waveform inversion (FWI) is one of a family of methods that allows the reconstruction of earth subsurface parameters from measurements of waves at or near the surface. This is a numerical optimization problem that uses the whole waveform information of all arrivals to update the subsurface parameters that govern seismic wave propagation. We apply FWI in the multi-scale approach on two well-known benchmarks: Marmousi and 2004 BP velocity model. For the forward modeling, we use an RBF-FD…

Full Waveform Inversion With Extrapolated Low Frequency Data
TLDR
This paper explores the possibility of synthesizing the low frequencies computationally from high-frequency data, and uses the resulting prediction of the missing data to seed the frequency sweep of FWI and demonstrates surprising robustness to the inaccuracies in the extrapolated low frequency data.

The Marmousi experience; velocity model determination on a synthetic complex data set
TLDR
The motivation behind seismic data acquisition and processing is simple—to obtain a depth image of the earth—but performing this process correctly is extremely difficult, and large amounts of man/CPU hours are devoted to the velocity estimation.
