Efficient algorithms for least squares wave equation migration and source signature estimation
DownloadFall 2017
Estimating accurate images of the subsurface is one of the end products of seismic data processing. Numerical solutions to the wave equation allow designing linearized forward operators. The adjoint of the linearized forward operator is used to image the interior of the earth. The adjoint...
