Abstract

Abstract Full-waveform inversion (FWI) is an advanced geophysical inversion technique. FWI provides images of subsurface structures with higher resolution in fields such as oil exploration and geology. The conventional algorithm minimizes the misfit error by calculating the least squares of the wavefield solutions between observed data and simulated data, followed by gradient direction and model update increment. Since the gradient is calculated by forward and backward wavefields, the high-accuracy model update relies on accurate forward and backward wavefield modelling. However, the quality of wavefield solutions obtained in practical situations could be poor and does not meet the requirements of high-resolution FWI. Specifically, the low-frequency wavefield is easily affected by noise and downsampling, which influences data quality, whereas the high-frequency wavefield is susceptible to spatial aliasing effects that produce imaging artefacts. Therefore, we propose using an algorithm called sparse relaxation regularized regression to optimize the wavefield solution in frequency-domain FWI, which is the forward and backward wavefield obtained from the Helmholtz equation, thus improving FWI's accuracy. The sparse relaxation regularized regression algorithm combines sparsity and regularization, allowing the broadband FWI to reduce the effects of noise and outliers, which can provide data supplementation in the low-frequency band and anti-aliasing in the high-frequency band. Our numerical examples demonstrate the wavefield optimization effect of the sparse relaxation regularized regression-based algorithm in various cases. The improved algorithm's accuracy and stability are verified compared to the Tikhonov regularization algorithm.
