A new parameter set for anisotropic multiparameter full-waveform inversion and application to a North Sea data set

Back to Technical Content
Parameterization lies at the center of anisotropic full-waveform inversion (FWI) with multiparameter updates. This is because FWI aims to update the long and short wavelengths of the perturbations. Recently, there has been an intensive effort to determine the optimal parameterization, centering the fundamental discussion mainly on the analysis of radiation patterns for each one of these parameterizations, and aiming to determine which is best suited for multiparameter inversion. We have developed a new parameterization in the scope of FWI, based on the concept of kinematically equivalent media, as originally proposed in other areas of seismic data analysis. The radiation pattern reveals that this parameterization combines some of the characteristics of parameterizations with one velocity and two Thomsen's parameters and parameterizations using two velocities and one Thomsen's parameter. The study of perturbation of traveltime with perturbation of model parameters shows that the new parameterization is less ambiguous when relating these quantities in comparison with other more commonly used parameterizations.
