Abstract

Abstract

Early-arrival waveform tomography (EWT) is one of the most promising techniques for building near-surface velocity model. Based on finite-frequency wave equation, EWT estimates velocities by matching calculated early-arrival waveforms with the observed ones. However, the objective function of EWT can easily converge to local minimum because of the cycle-skipping phenomenon. In order to reduce the cycle-skipping problem, a hybrid-domain early-arrival waveform tomography (HEWT) is proposed in this paper. The forward modeling of HEWT is realized in the time domain where early-arrival waveforms are easier to be selected from seismic data and less memory is needed than they are in the frequency domain. The inversion is implemented in the frequency domain where multi-scale strategy is more convenient to be realized than that in the time domain. Discrete Fourier transformation (DFT) is used to transform the time-domain wavefield to the frequency-domain wavefield. Test results show that HEWT is more competitive than EWT in both accuracy and computational time.
