Velocity Analysis • The coefficients of wave equation (relevant to imaging) are separable – Long scale – Short scale • Challenges – Nonlinear effect – Coupling of long scale and short scale – Multiple
Methods of Velocity Analysis • Data domain objectives – Waveform inversion – Stereotomography • Image domain objectives – WE-Migration forward, ray tracing inverse – WE-Migration forward, WE-Migration inverse
Outline • Theory – Objective function – Gradient • Calculation • Physical meaning • Smoothing – Aliasing • Examples – Angle ~ Offset – Reconstruct short scale and large scale variations
Generalized Born Modeling Reflection occurs instantaneously with no separation in space. Reflection occurs instantaneously separated by a finite distance. Do not require to use the true velocity.
Subsurface Image Measure
Example Data generated with caustic, migrated using correct and background velocity.
Differential Semblance Offset domain: Angle domain: Pseudo-differential operator of The objective function is smooth in velocity and is suitable for automatic velocity updating (Stolk & Symes, 2003).
Gradient Calculation Offset: Angle:
Gradient: Physical Meaning Single scattering, constructive interference occurs at zero offset.
Gradient: Physical Meaning “Two scatterings”, constructive interference occurs on ray segments.
Smoothing • Problem – The raw gradient is singular with full data bandwidth. • Solution – Confine the velocity model to the space of B-splines. • Controlled degree of smoothness • Compactly supported basis • Implication – Projection to B-spline model space. – B : forward interpolation - sparse – B*: adjoint projection - sparse dense
Example Flat reflector, constant velocity Projected gradient using BB* for one shot The gradient + B-spline projection reconstructs wide ray paths which are controlled by the degree of smoothness supplied.
Optimization on B-spline space
Aliasing • We care not only the image in zero offset but also its move-out in non-zero offsets. • There are many non-zero offset aliasing effects. – Data pre-conditioning. – Acquisition edge effect.

Obtain a Starting Model A v(z) starting model. Optimization: run up to 10 Hz, coarse B-spline grid 800 m by 400 m, 500 m by 200 m.
Optimized Velocity 800 m by 400 m, DSO optimized. 500 m by 200 m, DSO optimized. Projected from the true model.
Null Space Optimized image at 20 th iteration. Optimized image at 49 th iteration.
Starting with v(z) Velocity Start from v(z) velocity model, increase frequency and spatial resolution in two steps.
Conclusions • The angle domain DSO is not superior to offset domain DSO. • The velocity analysis within migration is a promising direction to pursue. • The adjoint-differential-migration provides an ideal platform for AWEMVA.
