Abubakar, A. (author), Hu, W. (author), Habashy, T.M. (author), Van den Berg, P.M. (author)We have applied the finite-difference contrast-source inversion (FDCSI) method to seismic full-waveform inversion problems. The FDCSI method is an iterative nonlinear inversion algorithm. However, unlike the nonlinear conjugate gradient method and the Gauss-Newton method, FDCSI does not solve any full forward problem explicitly in each iterative...journal article 2009

El Yadari, N. (author), Ernst, F. (author), Mulder, W. (author)The effect of the near surface on seismic land data can be so severe that static corrections are insufficient. Full-waveform inversion followed by redatuming may be an alternative, but inversion will work only if the starting model is sufficiently close to the true model. As a first step toward determining a viscoelastic near-surface model, we...journal article 2008

Chitu, D.A. (author), Al-Ali, M.N. (author), Verschuur, D.J. (author)In conventional migration velocity analysis methods, a velocity model is estimated that results in flattened events in common-image gathers. However, after this process, no information is available on the accuracy of this velocity model. A statistical analysis of velocity-model parameters is very difficult because of the integrated nature of the...journal article 2008

Berkhout, A.J. (author)Until now, seismic processing has been carried out by applying inverse filters in the forward data space. Because the acquired data of a seismic survey is always discrete, seismic measurements in the forward data space can be arranged conveniently in a data matrix (P). Each column in the data matrix represents one shot record. If we represent...journal article 2006
