Seismic Waveform Inversion Using the Finite-Difference Contrast Source Inversion Method by Bo Han, Qinglong He, Yong Chen, Yixin Dou

“…One of the most outstanding advantages of this inversion method is the highly computational efficiency, since it does not need to simulate a full forward problem for each inversion iteration. Another attractive feature of the inversion method is that it is of strong capability in dealing with nonlinear inverse problems in an inhomogeneous background medium, because a finite-difference operator is used to represent the differential operator governing the two-dimensional elastic wave propagation. …”
