Description
This book examines different classical and modern aspects of geophysical data processing and inversion with emphasis on the processing
of seismic records in applied seismology.
Chapter 1 introduces basic concepts including: probability theory (expectation operator
and ensemble statistics), elementary principles of parameter estimation, Fourier and z-transform essentials, and issues of orthogonality.
In Chapter 2, the linear treatment of time series is provided. Particular attention is paid to Wold decomposition theorem and time series
models (AR, MA, and ARMA) and their connection to seismic data analysis problems. Chapter 3 introduces concepts of Information theory
and contains a synopsis of those topics that are used throughout the book. Examples are entropy, conditional entropy, Burg's maximum
entropy spectral estimator, and mutual information. Chapter 4 provides a description of inverse problems first from a deterministic point
of view, then from a probabilistic one. Chapter 5 deals with methods to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of seismic records. Concepts
from previous chapters are put in practice for designing prediction error filters for noise attenuation and high-resolution Radon operators.
Chapter 6 deals with the topic of deconvolution and the inversion of acoustic impedance. The first part discusses band-limited extrapolation
assuming a known wavelet and considers the issue of wavelet estimation. The second part deals with sparse deconvolution using various
'entropy' type norms. Finally, Chapter 7 introduces recent topics of interest to the authors.
The emphasis of this book is on applied
seismology but researchers in the area of global seismology, and geophysical signal processing and inversion will find material that
is relevant to the ubiquitous problem of estimating complex models from a limited number of noisy observations.
Audience
Exploration geophysicists, petroleum geologists, oil companies, seismologists, graduate students
