Seismic full-waveform inversion based on a physics-driven generative adversarial network
Objectives: Full-waveform inversion (FWI) is a high-resolution geophysical imaging technique that reconstructs subsurface velocity models by iteratively minimizing the misfit between predicted and observed seismic data. However, under complex geological conditions, conventional FWI suffers from strong dependence on the initial model and tends to produce unstable results when the data are sparse or contaminated by noise. Methods: To address these limitations, this paper proposes a physics-driven generative adversarial network-based full-waveform inversion method. The proposed approach integrates the data-driven capability of deep neural networks with the physical constraints imposed by the seismic wave equation, and employs adversarial training through a discriminator to enhance the stability and robustness of the inversion results. Results: Experimental results on two representative benchmark geological models demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively recover complex velocity structures and achieves superior performance in terms of structural similarity (SSIM) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Conclusions: This method provides a promising solution for alleviating the initial-model dependence in full-waveform inversion and shows strong potential for practical applications.
High-Fidelity Compression of Seismic Velocity Models via SIREN Auto-Decoders
Implicit Neural Representations (INRs) have emerged as a powerful paradigm for representing continuous signals independently of grid resolution. In this paper, we propose a high-fidelity neural compression framework based on a SIREN (Sinusoidal Representation Networks) auto-decoder to represent multi-structural seismic velocity models from the OpenFWI benchmark. Our method compresses each 70x70 velocity map (4,900 points) into a compact 256-dimensional latent vector, achieving a compression ratio of 19:1. We evaluate the framework on 1,000 samples across five diverse geological families: FlatVel, CurveVel, FlatFault, CurveFault, and Style. Experimental results demonstrate an average PSNR of 32.47 dB and SSIM of 0.956, indicating high-quality reconstruction. Furthermore, we showcase two key advantages of our implicit representation: (1) smooth latent space interpolation that generates plausible intermediate velocity structures, and (2) zero-shot super-resolution capability that reconstructs velocity fields at arbitrary resolutions up to 280x280 without additional training. The results highlight the potential of INR-based auto-decoders for efficient storage, multi-scale analysis, and downstream geophysical applications such as full waveform inversion.
