FISH: Gerard Schuster: Wave Equation Inversion of Skeletonized Data
Dr. Gerard Schuster, Professor at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, presents ” Wave Equation Inversion of Skeletonized Data” at the MIT Earth Resources Laboratory. “Full-waveform inversion of seismic data is often plagued by cycle-skipping problems so that an iterative optimization method often gets stuck in a local minimum. To avoid this problem, we…
