description This paper investigates the capability of acoustic Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) in building Marmousi velocity model, in time and frequency domain. FWI is an iterative minimization of misfit between observed and calculated data which is generally solved in three segments: forward modeling, which numerically solves the wave equation with an initial model, gradient computation of the objective function, and updating the model parameters, with a valid optimization method. FWI codes developed in MATLAB herein FWISIMAT (Full Waveform Inversion in Seismic Imaging using MATLAB) are successfully implemented using the Marmousi velocity model as the true model. An initial model is obtained by smoothing the true model to initiate FWI procedure. Smoothing ensures an adequate starting model for FWI, as the FWI procedure is known to be sensitive on the starting model. The final model is compared with the true model to review the number of recovered velocities. FWI codes developed in MATLAB herein FWISIMAT (Full Waveform Inversion in Seismic Imaging using MATLAB) are successfully implemented usingMarmousi velocity model astrue model. An initial model is derived from smoothing the true model to initiate FWI procedure. Smoothing ensures an adequate starting model for FWI, as the FWI procedure is known to be sensitive onstarting model. The final model is compared with the true model to review theamount of recovered velocities.
