低频缺失情况下的弹性波包络反演（英文）

多分量地震数据中低频缺失是弹性波全波形反演中的一大难题,低频的缺失导致全波形反演无法有效恢复介质的长波长成分进而使反演陷入局部极值。为此,本文提出了反演介质纵横波速度长波长分量的弹性波包络反演方法。该方法利用包络算子具有的解调多分量数据中隐含的低频信息的能力,构造多分量地震数据的包络目标函数进行反演,用以恢复地下介质纵横波速度的长波长成分。一系列数值试验表明,即使在多分量地震数据中缺失低频信息、并且初始模型缺少先验信息的情况下,这种弹性波包络反演方法能够有效降低波形反演的非线性,可以为后续的常规弹性波全波形反演或者深度偏移提供足够精确的初始模型,且该方法对横波速度长波长分量的重建尤为有效。Mamousi-2模型的高精度纵横波速度的反演结果表明,利用该方法反演的纵横波速度作为常规弹性波全波形反演的初始模型,可以显著提高反演结果的精度。此外,本文对弹性波包络反演方法的适用性也进行了初步的研究与讨论。

区域尺度地震体波和面波走时联合成像：进展与展望

如何利用观测到的地震图上尽可能多的信息来约束地下结构以及地震震源本身一直是地震学研究的前沿课题.近年来,随着计算机计算能力的提高,使用基于全波形反演的方法已被用于不同尺度结构成像中,并取得了良好的效果.但如何减小全波形反演对计算资源的巨大需求以及其反演的高度非线性仍是目前急需解决的问题.此外,对于区域以及全球尺度成像,全波形反演的波形的拟合仅限于相对较低的频率.目前,基于波形层析成像在区域尺度最高能拟合的频率大约为0.5 Hz,在全球尺度能拟合的频率更低,所以获得的波速模型的分辨率还有一定的改进空间.地震学体波和面波联合反演是另一种可以综合利用更多信息的成像方法.该种方法主要利用高频体波的走时信息以及面波的频散信息来约束地下结构.由于只需要求解高频近似下的波动方程,其效率较全波形反演有较大提高.相比于体波和面波数据单独反演,联合反演能利用体波和面波对地下结构约束的互补性来获得能同时拟合不同数据的波速结构模型.此外,体波和面波数据联合反演能获得更为准确的泊松比模型,因此可以更好地约束岩性、孔隙度、熔融程度等.鉴于目前海量的基于机器学习获得的不同震相的走时数据以及越来越多的密集流动地震观测...

基于Born波路径的高斯束初至波波形反演

为了提高表层速度反演精度,本文提出了一种新的波形反演方法.该方法只利用初至波波形信息以减少波形反演对初始模型的依赖性,降低反演多解性与稳定性.由于只利用初至波波形信息,所以该方法利用高斯束计算格林函数和正演波场,以减少正演计算量.为了避免庞大核函数的存储,该方法基于Born波路径,利用矩阵分解算法实现方向与步长的累加计算.将此基于Born波路径的初至波波形反演方法应用于理论模型实验,并与声波方程全波形反演和初至波射线走时层析方法相对比,发现该方法的反演效果略低于全波形反演方法,但明显优于传统初至波射线走时层析方法,而计算效率却与射线走时层析相当.同时,相对于全波形反演,本文方法对初始模型的依赖性也有所降低.

基于非均匀曲波变换的高精度地震数据重建

在野外数据采集过程中,空间非均匀采样下的地震道缺失现象经常出现,为了不影响后续资料处理,必须进行高精度数据重建.然而大多数常规方法只能对空间均匀采样下的地震缺失道进行重建,而对于非均匀采样的地震数据则无能为力.为此本文在以往多尺度多方向二维曲波变换的基础上,首先引入非均匀快速傅里叶变换,建立均匀曲波系数与空间非均匀采样下地震缺失道数据之间的规则化反演算子,在L1最小范数约束下,使用线性Bregman方法进行反演计算得到均匀曲波系数,最后再进行均匀快速离散曲波反变换,从而形成基于非均匀曲波变换的高精度地震数据重建方法.该方法不仅可以重建非均匀带假频的缺失数据,而且具有较强的抗噪声能力,同时也可以将非均匀网格数据归为到任意指定的均匀采样网格.理论与实际数据的处理表明了该方法重建效果远优于非均匀傅里叶变换方法,可以有效地指导复杂地区数据采集设计及重建.     

基于地震信号波形形态差异的面波噪声稀疏优化分离方法

实际地震信号通常可表示为具有波形特征差异的多种基本波形信号的线性组合,如叠前道集中的工频干扰噪声与有效波信号、面波噪声与体波信号等.选择单一数学变换方法,往往不易实现地震信号的稀疏表示.近年来发展的形态成分分析理论,通过联合多种数学变换,可实现对复杂信号的稀疏表示.本文根据单道地震记录中面波与体波信号波形结构特征的差异性,提出一种基于形态成分分析的面波噪声衰减方法.针对面波的低频、窄带以及频散特性选择一维平稳小波变换作为其稀疏表示字典,而针对体波波形的局部相关特性选择局部离散余弦变换作为其稀疏表示字典,建立基于双波形字典的形态成分分析模型,通过求解该稀疏优化问题获得最终的信噪分离结果.理论模型和实际地震资料处理证实该方法不仅能够衰减单炮地震记录中的强面波干扰噪声,同时能够更好地保护有效信号的波形特征与频谱带宽,为地震资料的后续处理和分析提供良好的数据基础.

波形反演在探地雷达领域的应用已有十余年历史,但绝大部分算例属于时间域波形反演.频率域波形反演由于能够灵活地选择迭代频率并可以使用不同类型的目标函数,因而更加多样化.本文的频率域波形反演基于时间域有限差分(FDTD)法,采用对数目标函数,可在每一次迭代过程中同时或者单独反演介电常数和电导率.文中详细推导了频率域波形反演的理论公式,给出对数目标函数下的梯度表达式,并使用离散傅氏变换(DFT)实现数据的时频变换,能够有效地减少大模型反演的内存需求.在后向残场源的时频域转换过程中,提出仅使用以当前频点为中心的一个窄带数据,可以消除高频无用信号的干扰,获得可靠的反演结果.为加速收敛,采用每迭代十次则反演频率跳跃一定频带宽度的反演策略.实验证明适当的频率跳跃能够在不降低分辨率的基础上有效地提高反演效率.通过两组不同情形下合成数据反演的分析对比,证明基于对数目标函数的波形反演结果准确可靠.最后,将该方法应用到一组实际数据,得到较好的反演结果.     

Acoustic full waveform inversion of synthetic land and marine data in the Laplace domain

Elastic waves, such as Rayleigh and mode‐converted waves, together with amplitude versus offset variations, serve as noise in full waveform inversion using the acoustic approximation. Heavy preprocessing must be applied to remove elastic effects to invert land or marine data using the acoustic inversion method in the time or frequency domains. Full waveform inversion using the elastic wave equation should be one alternative; however, multi‐parameter inversion is expensive and sensitive to the starting velocity model. We implement full acoustic waveform inversion of synthetic land and marine data in the Laplace domain with minimum preprocessing (i.e., muting) to remove elastic effects. The damping in the Laplace transform can be thought of as an automatic time windowing. Numerical examples show that Laplace‐domain acoustic inversion can yield correct smooth velocity models even with the noise originating from elastic waves. This offers the opportunity to develop an accurate smooth starting model for subsequent inversion in the frequency domain.     

3D acoustic waveform inversion in the Laplace domain using an iterative solver

In this paper we propose a 3D acoustic full waveform inversion algorithm in the Laplace domain. The partial differential equation for the 3D acoustic wave equation in the Laplace domain is reformulated as a linear system of algebraic equations using the finite element method and the resulting linear system is solved by a preconditioned conjugate gradient method. The numerical solutions obtained by our modelling algorithm are verified through a comparison with the corresponding analytical solutions and the appropriate dispersion analysis. In the Laplace‐domain waveform inversion, the logarithm of the Laplace transformed wavefields mainly contains long‐wavelength information about the underlying velocity model. As a result, the algorithm smoothes a small‐scale structure but roughly identifies large‐scale features within a certain depth determined by the range of offsets and Laplace damping constants employed. Our algorithm thus provides a useful complementary process to time‐ or frequency‐domain waveform inversion, which cannot recover a large‐scale structure when low‐frequency signals are weak or absent. The algorithm is demonstrated on a synthetic example: the SEG/EAGE 3D salt‐dome model. The numerical test is limited to a Laplace‐domain synthetic data set for the inversion. In order to verify the usefulness of the inverted velocity model, we perform the 3D reverse time migration. The migration results show that our inversion results can be used as an initial model for the subsequent high‐resolution waveform inversion. Further studies are needed to perform the inversion using time‐domain synthetic data with noise or real data, thereby investigating robustness to noise.     

Correlation‐based reflection waveform inversion by one‐way wave equations

Reflection full waveform inversion can update subsurface velocity structure of the deeper part, but tends to get stuck in the local minima associated with the waveform misfit function. These local minima cause cycle skipping if the initial background velocity model is far from the true model. Since conventional reflection full waveform inversion using two‐way wave equation in time domain is computationally expensive and consumes a large amount of memory, we implement a correlation‐based reflection waveform inversion using one‐way wave equations to retrieve the background velocity. In this method, one‐way wave equations are used for the seismic wave forward modelling, migration/de‐migration and the gradient computation of objective function in frequency domain. Compared with the method using two‐way wave equation, the proposed method benefits from the lower computational cost of one‐way wave equations without significant accuracy reduction in the cases without steep dips. It also largely reduces the memory requirement by an order of magnitude than implementation using two‐way wave equation both for two‐ and three‐dimensional situations. Through numerical analysis, we also find that one‐way wave equations can better construct the low wavenumber reflection wavepath without producing high‐amplitude short‐wavelength components near the image points in the reflection full waveform inversion gradient. Synthetic test and real data application show that the proposed method efficiently updates the background velocity model.     

基于各向异性全变分约束的多震源弹性波全波形反演

多震源编码技术可以提高全波形反演的计算效率,但同时会引入串扰噪声使反演结果质量降低. 全变分约束可以有效地压制层内噪声并突出模型界面,其与多震源技术的结合,能在大大提高弹性波全波形反演效率的同时提高反演质量. 本文提出了一种高效的动态多震源全波形反演策略,可以在离散串扰噪声的同时保证照明的均匀性. 根据残留串扰噪声的分布特征,构建了与之匹配的基于各向异性全变分约束的弹性波全波形反演方法. 为了减少周期跳跃效应,将基于稀疏约束的低频重构算法应用于弹性波地震记录,给出了利用快速梯度投影算法求解各向异性全变分约束的全波形反演流程. 模型数据测试结果表明本文的方法不仅能有效地抑制多震源方法导致的串扰噪声,同时也能降低观测数据中的噪声对反演结果的影响.     

Full waveform inversion using oriented time‐domain imaging method for vertical transverse isotropic media

Full waveform inversion for reflection events is limited by its linearised update requirements given by a process equivalent to migration. Unless the background velocity model is reasonably accurate, the resulting gradient can have an inaccurate update direction leading the inversion to converge what we refer to as local minima of the objective function. In our approach, we consider mild lateral variation in the model and, thus, use a gradient given by the oriented time‐domain imaging method. Specifically, we apply the oriented time‐domain imaging on the data residual to obtain the geometrical features of the velocity perturbation. After updating the model in the time domain, we convert the perturbation from the time domain to depth using the average velocity. Considering density is constant, we can expand the conventional 1D impedance inversion method to two‐dimensional or three‐dimensional velocity inversion within the process of full waveform inversion. This method is not only capable of inverting for velocity, but it is also capable of retrieving anisotropic parameters relying on linearised representations of the reflection response. To eliminate the crosstalk artifacts between different parameters, we utilise what we consider being an optimal parametrisation for this step. To do so, we extend the prestack time‐domain migration image in incident angle dimension to incorporate angular dependence needed by the multiparameter inversion. For simple models, this approach provides an efficient and stable way to do full waveform inversion or modified seismic inversion and makes the anisotropic inversion more practicable. The proposed method still needs kinematically accurate initial models since it only recovers the high‐wavenumber part as conventional full waveform inversion method does. Results on synthetic data of isotropic and anisotropic cases illustrate the benefits and limitations of this method.     

Velocity model building from seismic reflection data by full‐waveform inversion

Full‐waveform inversion is re‐emerging as a powerful data‐fitting procedure for quantitative seismic imaging of the subsurface from wide‐azimuth seismic data. This method is suitable to build high‐resolution velocity models provided that the targeted area is sampled by both diving waves and reflected waves. However, the conventional formulation of full‐waveform inversion prevents the reconstruction of the small wavenumber components of the velocity model when the subsurface is sampled by reflected waves only. This typically occurs as the depth becomes significant with respect to the length of the receiver array. This study first aims to highlight the limits of the conventional form of full‐waveform inversion when applied to seismic reflection data, through a simple canonical example of seismic imaging and to propose a new inversion workflow that overcomes these limitations. The governing idea is to decompose the subsurface model as a background part, which we seek to update and a singular part that corresponds to some prior knowledge of the reflectivity. Forcing this scale uncoupling in the full‐waveform inversion formalism brings out the transmitted wavepaths that connect the sources and receivers to the reflectors in the sensitivity kernel of the full‐waveform inversion, which is otherwise dominated by the migration impulse responses formed by the correlation of the downgoing direct wavefields coming from the shot and receiver positions. This transmission regime makes full‐waveform inversion amenable to the update of the long‐to‐intermediate wavelengths of the background model from the wide scattering‐angle information. However, we show that this prior knowledge of the reflectivity does not prevent the use of a suitable misfit measurement based on cross‐correlation, to avoid cycle‐skipping issues as well as a suitable inversion domain as the pseudo‐depth domain that allows us to preserve the invariant property of the zero‐offset time. This latter feature is useful to avoid updating the reflectivity information at each non‐linear iteration of the full‐waveform inversion, hence considerably reducing the computational cost of the entire workflow. Prior information of the reflectivity in the full‐waveform inversion formalism, a robust misfit function that prevents cycle‐skipping issues and a suitable inversion domain that preserves the seismic invariant are the three key ingredients that should ensure well‐posedness and computational efficiency of full‐waveform inversion algorithms for seismic reflection data.
