Acoustic full waveform inversion method based on local storage strategy
As a high precision underground velocity model building method,full-waveform inversion has been widely concerned in seismic exploration since it was proposed.However,in the time domain full-waveform inversion,the calculation of gradient needs to reconstruct or store the source wavefield to cross-correlate,which leads to extra storage,as well as the problem of wavefield reconstruction,which seriously restricts the practical application of full-waveform inversion.In this paper,a method of full-waveform inversion based on local storage strategy is proposed.According to the Nyquist sampling theorem,the storage interval is set to calculate the gradient by storing the effective wave field in the finite time interval of each spatial grid point,so as to reduce the storage of source wave field data,avoid wavefield reconstruction and improve efficiency.Compared with other methods,this method does not need to reconstruct the source wavefield and the required memory size is not affected by finite-difference accuracy and recording duration.The inversion results of 2D overthrust model as well as 3D overthrust model show that the proposed method can guarantee the accuracy and signal-to-noise ratio of inversion results without the source wavefield reconstruction,improve effectively the computational efficiency,and reduce significantly the requirement of computer memory.
