Although it can be shown that the correct primary impulse response is obtained through the sparsest possible solution, the original EPSI algorithm was not designed to take advantage of this result, and instead it relies on a multitude of inversion parameters, such as the level of sparsity per gradient update. We proposed and tested a new algorithm, named robust EPSI, in which we make obtaining the sparsest solution an explicit goal. Our approach remains a gradient-based approach like the original algorithm, but it is derived from a new biconvex optimization framework based on an extended basis-pursuit denoising formulation. Furthermore, because it is based on a general framework, robust EPSI can recover the impulse response in transform domains, such as sparsifying curvelet-based representations, without changing the underlying algorithm. We discovered that the sparsity-minimizing objective of our formulation enabled it to operate successfully on a variety of synthetic and field marine data sets without excessive tweaking of inversion parameters. We also found that recovering the solution in alternate sparsity domains can significantly improve the quality of the directly estimated primaries, especially for weaker late-arrival events.

Conventional reverse-time migration requires prior knowledge of the source wavelet, which is either technically or computationally challenging to accurately determine; inaccurate estimates of the source wavelet can result in seriously degraded reverse-time migrated images, and therefore wrong geological interpretations. To solve this problem, we present a "wavelet-free" imaging procedure that simultaneously inverts for the source wavelet and the seismic image, by tightly integrating source estimation into a fast least-squares imaging framework, namely compressive imaging, given a reasonably accurate background velocity model. However, this joint inversion problem is difficult to solve as it is plagued with local minima and the ambiguity with respect to amplitude scalings because of the multiplicative, and therefore nonlinear, appearance of the source wavelet in the otherwise linear formalism. We have found a way to solve this nonlinear joint-inversion problem using a technique called variable projection, and a way to overcome the scaling ambiguity by including surface-related multiples in our imaging procedure following recent developments in surface-related multiple prediction by sparse inversion. As a result, we obtain without prior knowledge of the source wavelet high-resolution seismic images, comparable in quality to images obtained assuming the true source wavelet is known. By leveraging the computationally efficient compressive-imaging methodology, these results are obtained at affordable computational costs compared with conventional processing work flows that include surface-related multiple removal and reverse-time migration.}, keywords = {computational seismology, free surface, Inverse theory, multiples, seismic imaging, time series analysis, wave propagation}, url = {https://www.slim.eos.ubc.ca/Publications/Public/Journals/GeophysicalJournalInternational/2016/tu2015GJIsem/tu2015GJIsem.pdf}, url2 = {http://gji.oxfordjournals.org/content/205/3/1492.full.pdf?keytype=ref\&ijkey=zFydRGQpiJzeCS9}, author = {Ning Tu and Aleksandr Y.

We propose a practical randomized marine acquisition scheme where the sequential sources fire airguns at only randomly time-dithered instances. We demonstrate that the recovery using sparse approximation from random time-dithering with a single source approaches the recovery from simultaneous-source acquisition with multiple sources. Established findings from the field of compressive sensing indicate that the choice of the sparsifying transform that is incoherent with the compressive sampling matrix can significantly impact the reconstruction quality. Leveraging these findings, we then demonstrate that the compressive sampling matrix resulting from our proposed sampling scheme is incoherent with the curvelet transform.

Inspired by lifting approaches, we propose to split the sparse signal into positive and negative components and apply an $\ell_1/\ell_2$ constraint to the difference, thereby obtaining a constraint that is easy to implement.

This wavefield pattern is modeled as the outer-product of the source signature with the amplitude pattern across the receivers from a seismic source. A rank-1 factorization of the estimated wavefield pattern at each location can therefore be used to estimate the seismic moment tensor using the knowledge of the array geometry.

Time reversal is a powerful tool to image directly both microseismic location and mechanism. This technique assumes seismic velocities in the medium and propagates time reversed observations of ground motion at each receiver location. Assuming an accurate velocity model and adequate array aperture, the waves will focus at the source location. Because we do not know the location and the origin time a priori, we need to scan the entire 4D image (3D in space and 1D in time) to find focusing, which makes reverse time migration (RTM) computationally demanding. We propose a new approach to reverse-time imaging that reduces the scanning dimensions from 4D to 3D (no time) and increases the spatial resolution of the source image. We first individually extrapolate wavefields at each receiver, and then crosscorrelate these wavefields (product in the frequency do- main: Geometric-mean RTM, GmRTM). This crosscorrelation creates another imaging condition, and the focusing of the seis- mic wavefields occurs at the zero time lag of the correlation. Through this approach, we can reduce the dimensions of scan- ning, and hence the computational requirements, from 4D to 3D. The crosscorrelation effectively suppresses the side lobes and yields a high-resolution image. Also, GmRTM is robust for random noise because the crosscorrelation enhances the coherent signals. An added benefit is that, in contrast to conventional one-way RTM, GmRTM has potential to be used to retrieve velocity information by using time and/or space lags of crosscorrelation similar to what is done in active-source imaging.}, keywords = {SEG}, doi = {10.1190/segam2015-5851848.1}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1190/segam2015-5851848.1}, author = {Nori Nakata and Gregory C.

The conventional time-reversal imaging approach for microseismic event location may not be optimal for such an environment. To address this challenge, we develop a methodology of locating multiple microseismic events with unknown start times based on the cross-correlation imaging condition borrowed from active-source seismic imaging. The imaging principle states that a true microseismic source must correspond to the location where all the backward propagated events coincide in both space and time. Instead of simply stacking the backward-propagated seismic wavefields, as suggested by time-reversal imaging, we perform multiplication reduction to compute a high-resolution microseismicity map. The map has an extra dimension of time, indicating the start times of different events. Combined with a distributed sensor network, our method is designed for monitoring microseismic activities and mapping fracture development during hydraulic fracturing in-situ and in real-time.

In this paper, we review the basic properties of proximity operators which are relevant to signal processing and present optimization methods based on these operators. These proximal splitting methods are shown to capture and extend several well-known algorithms in a unifying framework.

Our algorithm is particularly suitable to large-scale geophysical inversion problems, such as sparse least-squares reverse-time migration or Kirchoff migration since it allows for a tradeoff between parallel computations, memory allocation, and turnaround times, by working on subsets of the data with different sizes. Comparison of the proposed method for sparse least-squares imaging shows a performance that rivals and even exceeds the performance of state-of-the art one-norm solvers that are able to carry out least-squares migration at the cost of a single migration with all data.}, keywords = {EAGE,LSRTM}, url = {https://www.slim.eos.ubc.ca/Publications/Public/Conferences/EAGE/2015/herrmann2015EAGEfom/herrmann2015EAGEfom.html}, presentation = {https://www.slim.eos.ubc.ca/Publications/Public/Conferences/EAGE/2015/herrmann2015EAGEfom/herrmann2015EAGEfom_pres.pdf}, url2 = {http://www.earthdoc.org/publication/publicationdetails/?publication=80695}, author = {Herrmann, Felix J and Tu, Ning and Esser, Ernie} } @article{lorentz2014ask, author={{Lorenz}, D.~A. and {Wenger}, S. and {Sch{\"o}pfer}, F. and {Magnor}, M.}, title={A sparse Kaczmarz solver and a linearized Bregman method for online compressed sensing}, journal={ArXiv e-prints}, archivePrefix = "arXiv", eprint = {1403.7543}, primaryClass = "math.OC", keywords = {Mathematics - Optimization and Control, Computer Science - Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, Computer Science - Information Theory, Mathematics - Numerical Analysis}, year = 2014, month = mar, adsurl = {http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2014arXiv1403.7543L}, adsnote = {Provided by the SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System}, url={http://arxiv.org/pdf/1403.7543v1.pdf} } @article {herrmann2009GEOPcbm, title = {Curvelet-based migration preconditioning and scaling}, journal = {Geophysics}, volume = {74}, year = {2009}, month = {07-08}, pages = {A41-A46}, abstract = {The extremely large size of typical seismic imaging problems has been one of the major stumbling blocks for iterative techniques to attain accurate migration amplitudes. These iterative methods are important because they complement theoretical approaches that are hampered by difficulties to control problems such as finite-acquisition aperture, source-receiver frequency response, and directivity. To solve these problems, we apply preconditioning, which significantly improves convergence of least-squares migration. We discuss different levels of preconditioning that range from corrections for the order of the migration operator to corrections for spherical spreading, and position and reflector-dip dependent amplitude errors. While the first two corrections correspond to simple scalings in the Fourier and physical domain, the third correction requires phase-space (space spanned by location and dip) scaling, which we carry out with curvelets. We show that our combined preconditioner leads to a significant improvement of the convergence of least-squares {\textquoteleft}wave-equation{\textquoteright} migration on a line from the SEG AA{\textquoteright} salt model.}, keywords = {Imaging, migration, SLIM}, doi = {10.1190/1.3124753}, url = {http://geophysics.geoscienceworld.org/content/74/4/A41.abstract}, url2 = {https://www.slim.eos.ubc.ca/Publications/Public/Journals/Geophysics/2009/herrmann2009GEOPcbm/herrmann2009GEOPcbm.pdf}, author = {Herrmann, Felix J. and Brown, Cody R. and Erlangga, Yogi A. and Moghaddam, Peyman P.} } @article{MUSAFIR20133947, title = "On non-radiating sources", journal = "Journal of Sound and Vibration", volume = "332", number = "17", pages = "3947 - 3955", year = "2013", note = "Philip Doak Commemorative Issue", issn = "0022-460X", doi = "https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsv.2013.02.042", url = "http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022460X13002459", author = "Ricardo E.
