Description
Over the last fifteen years, FWI has become an essential tool in seismic imaging. Due to its very large computational size, it is based on iterative local optimization schemes and so impeded by a high sensitivity to cycle skipping. Various approaches have been proposed to mitigate this issue. They are based on time- and space-shifts, Wiener filter, reflectivity, or phase-only information, and they aim at retrieving the low and intermediate wavenumbers of model parameters.
The concept of extended domain inversion as defined by Bill Symes in 2008 offers a general frame for recasting most of these approaches. “Extended” means that additional degrees of freedom are temporarily introduced in the modeling during the local optimization process to provide more efficient optimization paths. Such full wave approaches can involve extensions in the time or space domains or even in the spatiotemporal domain but also can work in the image or data domain with a reflectivity model in addition to the velocity model.
In this workshop, we will discuss the different extensions, their advantages, and challenges.
