Fast least-squares reverse time migration based on stable pseudo-acoustic wave equations for tilted transverse isotropic media

Conventional tools for seismic imaging normally ignore the anisotropy of the media to produce images of the subsurface, and such omission reduces the quality of the images. Therefore, it is necessary to develop methods which account for subsurface …

A parallel improved PSO algorithm with genetic operators for 2D inversion of resistivity data

In this paper, an improved particle swarm optimization technique known as elitist-mutated particle swarm optimization (EMPSO) was applied in the 2D electrical resistivity imaging, a complex and highly nonlinear optimization problem. The EMPSO enables …

Application of the Generalized Simulated Annealing Algorithm to the Solution of 2D Gravity Inversion of Basement Relief

Generalized simulated annealing (GSA) is an optimization technique for locating the global optimum, which contains both classical simulated annealing (SA) and fast simulated annealing (FSA) as particular cases. In this paper, GSA was applied to …

Lanczos Bidiagonalization Method for Parallel 3-D Gravity Inversion - Application to Basement Relief Definition

It is present an efficient parallel algorithm for the inversion of 3-D gravity data, which goal is to estimate the depth of a sedimentary basin in which the density contrast varies parabolically with depth. The efficiency of the gravity inversion …

Regularization parameter selection in the 3D gravity inversion of the basement relief using GCV: A parallel approach

In this study, we present a computationally efficient automatic method for the optimal selection of the regularization parameter in the 3D inversion of gravity data. We use a linearized inversion method to estimate the depth of a 3D sedimentary basin …

Using SVD Filters for Velocity Analysis and Ground-roll Attenuation

This study investigates the adaptive filtering approach based on the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) method to improve velocity analysis and ground-roll attenuation. The SVD filtering is an adaptive multichannel filtering method where each …
