Abstract

Summary

Extended waveform inversion uses inference of an extended model, depending on non-physical parameters, to extract velocity information directly from waveform data. It has been observed that fitting data at all stages of velocity updates, a possibility offered by model extension, appears to be important to assure reliability of algorithms of this type. An analysis of the modeling operator derivative provides an explanation for this observation, and reveals the link between extended waveform inversion and traveltime tomography.
