Full-waveform inversion (FWI) is a challenging data-fitting procedure based on full-wavefield
modeling to extract quantitative information from seismograms. High-resolution imaging at …

Seismic full-waveform inversion (FWI) for imaging Earth's interior was introduced in the late
1970s. Its ultimate goal is to use all of the information in a seismogram to understand the …

Recent progress in numerical methods and computer science allows us today to simulate
the propagation of seismic waves through realistically heterogeneous Earth models with …

Quantitative imaging of the elastic properties of the subsurface at depth is essential for civil
engineering applications and oil-and gas-reservoir characterization. A realistic synthetic …

Full waveform inversion (FWI) is a powerful method for reconstructing subsurface
parameters from local measurements of the seismic wavefield. This method consists in …

Strong subsurface attenuation leads to distortion of amplitudes and phases of seismic waves
propagating inside the earth. Conventional acoustic reverse time migration (RTM) and least …

Since the pioneering work of Tarantola, waveform inversion has emerged as a tool for
estimating velocity models of the subsurface using pre-stack seismic data. The waveform …

The goal of this paper is to provide an overview of the current state of the art in seismic
tomography, and trace its origins from pioneering work in the early 1970s to its present …

An application of full-waveform tomography to dense onshore wide-aperture seismic data
recorded in a complex geological setting (thrust belt) is presented. The waveform modelling …

Multiparameter full waveform inversion (FWI) is a challenging quantitative seismic imaging
