Abstract

We propose an extended full waveform inversion formulation that includes convex constraints on the model. In particular, we show how to simultaneously constrain the total variation of the slowness squared while enforcing bound constraints to keep it within a physically realistic range. Synthetic experiments show that including total variation regularization can improve the recovery of a high velocity perturbation to a smooth background model.
