Efficient seismic imaging with spectral projector and joint sparsity Miao, Lina

Abstract

In this thesis, we investigate the potential of improving the efficiency of seismic imaging with two advanced techniques: the spectral projector and the “joint sparsity”. The spectral projector offers an eigenvalue decomposition free computation routine that can filter out unstable evanescent wave components during wave equation based depth extrapolation. “Joint sparsity” aims to improve on the pure sparsity promoting recovery by making use of additional structure information of the signal. Besides, a new sparsity optimization algorithm — PQNl1 — is proposed to improve both theoretical convergence rate and practical performance for extremely large seismic imaging problems.
