Methods for source-independent Q estimation from microseismic and crosswell perforation shot data in a layered, isotropic viscoelastic medium

We consider the problem of anelastic full waveform inversion in a multi-layered, isotropic viscoelastic medium from microseismic and cross-hole perforation shots. Usually, the source wavelet is not well known, so we focus on Q estimation techniques that can handle this problem. We revisit the spectral ratio method (SRM) and discuss its domain of...
