Tóm tắt

ABSTRACTFirst‐arrival traveltime tomography is a robust tool for near‐surface velocity estimation. A common approach to stabilizing the ill‐posed inverse problem is to apply Tikhonov regularization to the inversion. However, the Tikhonov regularization method recovers smooth local structures while blurring the sharp features in the model solution. We present a first‐arrival traveltime tomography method with modified total‐variation regularization to preserve sharp velocity contrasts and improve the accuracy of velocity inversion. To solve the minimization problem of the new traveltime tomography method, we decouple the original optimization problem into the two following subproblems: a standard traveltime tomography problem with the traditional Tikhonov regularization and a L2 total‐variation problem. We apply the conjugate gradient method and split‐Bregman iterative method to solve these two subproblems, respectively. Our synthetic examples show that the new method produces higher resolution models than the conventional traveltime tomography with Tikhonov regularization, and creates less artefacts than the total variation regularization method for the models with sharp interfaces. For the field data, pre‐stack time migration sections show that the modified total‐variation traveltime tomography produces a near‐surface velocity model, which makes statics corrections more accurate.
