Iteratively re‐weighted and refined least squares algorithm for robust inversion of geophysical data

A robust metric of data misfit such as the ?₁‐norm is required for geophysical parameter estimation when the data are contaminated by erratic noise. Recently, the iteratively re‐weighted and refined least‐squares algorithm was introduced for efficient solution of geophysical inverse problems in the presence of additive Gaussian noise in the data. We extend the algorithm in two practically important directions to make it applicable to data with non‐Gaussian noise and to make its regularisation parameter tuning more efficient and automatic. The regularisation parameter in iteratively reweighted and refined least‐squares algorithm varies with iteration, allowing the efficient solution of constrained problems. A technique is proposed based on the secant method for root finding to concentrate on finding a solution that satisfies the constraint, either fitting to a target misfit (if a bound on the noise is available) or having a target size (if a bound on the solution is available). This technique leads to an automatic update of the regularisation parameter at each and every iteration. We further propose a simple and efficient scheme that tunes the regularisation parameter without requiring target bounds. This is of great importance for the field data inversion where there is no information about the size of the noise and the solution. Numerical examples from non‐stationary seismic deconvolution and velocity‐stack inversion show that the proposed algorithm is efficient, stable, and robust and outperforms the conventional and state‐of‐the‐art methods.     

带粒子滤波约束的PP-PS联合反演的稀疏解算法

随着地震勘探目标从构造型油气藏向岩性油气藏的转变,地震勘探难度日益增大,这就要求从地震数据中获得更多可靠且具有明确地质含义的属性信息,并充分利用这些属性信息来对储层的岩性、岩相进行分析.AVO三参数反演能够从振幅随炮检距的变化信息中直接提取纵波速度、横波速度以及密度来估计岩石和流体的性质,进而对储层进行预测.然而,AVO反演本身是一个不适定的问题,加上地震纵波反射系数对横波速度和密度的不敏感,会造成单纯利用纵波地震数据进行反演的结果误差大.随着地震接收和数据处理技术的发展,越来越多的学者对PP-PS联合反演方法进行了研究并在实际资料中得以运用.融合转换横波地震数据的联合反演在一定程度上提高了反演的精度,降低了解的不稳定性.但是在信噪比较低的情况下,联合反演的效果受到了限制.本文从优化理论出发,提出了基于粒子滤波提供先验知识的l₁范数约束极小化问题的稀疏解算法.并将上述方法运用到了不同的模型中,通过比较分析,证实了该方法在不同信噪比资料中的有效性和在信噪比较低情况下的优势.     

A compound method for random noise attenuation

Random noise attenuation, preserving the events and weak features by improving signal‐to‐noise ratio and resolution of seismic data are the most important issues in geophysics. To achieve this objective, we proposed a novel seismic random noise attenuation method by building a compound algorithm. The proposed method combines sparsity prior regularization based on shearlet transform and anisotropic variational regularization. The anisotropic variational regularization which is based on the linear combination of weighted anisotropic total variation and anisotropic second‐order total variation attenuates noises while preserving the events of seismic data and it effectively avoids the fine‐scale artefacts due to shearlets from the restored seismic data. The proposed method is formulated as a convex optimization problem and the split Bregman iteration is applied to solve the optimization problem. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we test it on several synthetic seismic datasets and real datasets. Compared with three methods (the linear combination of weighted anisotropic total variation and anisotropic second‐order total variation, shearlets and shearlet‐based weighted anisotropic total variation), the numerical experiments indicate that the proposed method attenuates random noises while alleviating artefact and preserving events and features of seismic data. The obtained result also confirms that the proposed method improves the signal‐to‐noise ratio.

基于Lp范数稀疏优化算法的重力三维反演

三维密度反演已经成为重力数据定量解释的常规方法,但由于重力数据本身并没有深度分辨率,为了减少由此引起的重力反演的非唯一性,常用的手段是引入额外的先验信息.本文提出了一种重力三维稀疏反演（以下简称稀疏反演）方法,该方法通过求解物性上下界约束时的L_p范数（0 ≤ p ≤ 1）稀疏优化问题,来获得具有尖锐边界的解.与传统的L₂范数反演方法相比,稀疏反演方法可以更加有效地利用已知的物性信息,获得深度分辨率更高的反演结果.此外,我们也分析了稀疏反演方法与二值、三值反演算法的等价性以及在实际应用中需要注意的问题.最后,通过模型试验以及矿区实测数据反演验证了稀疏反演方法的有效性.     

Fast hyperbolic deconvolutive Radon transform using generalized Fourier slice theorem

The hyperbolic Radon transform has a long history of applications in seismic data processing because of its ability to focus/sparsify the data in the transform domain. Recently, deconvolutive Radon transform has also been proposed with an improved time resolution which provides improved processing results. The basis functions of the (deconvolutive) Radon transform, however, are time-variant, making the classical Fourier based algorithms ineffective to carry out the required computations. A direct implementation of the associated summations in the time–space domain is also computationally expensive, thus limiting the application of the transform on large data sets. In this paper, we present a new method for fast computation of the hyperbolic (deconvolutive) Radon transform. The method is based on the recently proposed generalized Fourier slice theorem which establishes an analytic expression between the Fourier transforms associated with the data and Radon plane. This allows very fast computations of the forward and inverse transforms simply using fast Fourier transform and interpolation procedures. These canonical transforms are used within an efficient iterative method for sparse solution of (deconvolutive) Radon transform. Numerical examples from synthetic and field seismic data confirm high performance of the proposed fast algorithm for filling in the large gaps in seismic data, separating primaries from multiple reflections, and performing high-quality stretch-free stacking.
