Geometrical-Feature-Preserving Adjoint Tomography of Near-Surface Structure with Seismic Early Arrival by Chao Zhang, Cheng Li, Jian Cai

“…Early arrival waveform inversion (EWI) is an essential approach to obtaining velocity structures in near-surface. Due to suffering from a cycle‐skipping issue, it is difficult to reach the global minima for conventional EWI with the misfit function of least-squares norm (L2‐norm). …”

Using Time Deformation to Filter Nonstationary Time Series with Multiple Time-Frequency Structures by Mengyuan Xu, Wayne A. Woodward, Henry L. Gray

“…In this paper, we explore the wide application of the G-filter for filtering different types of nonstationary processes with multiple time-frequency structure. Simulation examples illustrate that the G-filter can be applied to filter a broad range of multicomponent nonstationary process where TVF components may in fact overlap in time.…”
