AbstractA higher-order function may evolve phylogenetically if it is demanded by multiple domain-specific modules. Task-specificity to solve a unique adaptive problem (e.g., foraging or mating) should be distinguished from function-specificity to deal with a common computational demand (e.g., numeracy, verbal communication) required by many tasks. A localized brain function is likely a result of such common computational demand.

We describe an effective method for joining the benefits of inversion of different kinds of measurements. We show the simultaneous joint inversion objective function, which allows users to link different inversion domains, like seismic with gravity or seismic with magnetotellurics. This function can be extended to any number of domains and does not require that they be sampled on the same grid. Our parallel implementation allowed us to scale well with large volumes of data and a large number of unknowns, and it has already been included in production workflows. Furthermore, it is generic and constitutes a framework where new inversion techniques can be easily plugged in. We also present two different ways of linking various inversion domains for establishing relationships between different model domains and how they can be chosen and used to achieve the best result. Applications of the algorithm using synthetic and field data produce model features generally not achievable with single-domain inversions. Specifically, we applied our technique to real data from the Walker Ridge area in the Gulf of Mexico, and we used the results to reinterpret and remigrate seismic data. The final migrated section clearly found improved quality with respect to previous efforts. Our results document the fundamental importance of integrating nonseismic methods with seismic techniques to increase the image quality of geologically complex areas.

Seismic imaging techniques often require an input velocity model. Velocity analysis is one of the most critical stages in seismic data processing. Standard ways to find the velocity model from seismic data in the time domain are constant velocity stack and semblance velocity analysis that may be time consuming and labor intensive. Oriented/velocity-less imaging using local event slopes is an alternative to the conventional imaging techniques. In some previous oriented techniques, seismic data must be sorted in two different domains, whereas seismic data are not always available in both domains and the use of interpolation is inevitable in such cases. Other methods are developed in terms of the higher order derivatives of traveltime with respect to offset, whereas estimation of the higher order derivatives is difficult to achieve with the required accuracy. We addressed the limitations by developing an oriented local slope based prestack time migration technique in only one domain: the common-source domain. The migration technique is developed for reflectors with small curvature. In the proposed approach, the need for the estimation of higher order derivatives is replaced by a point-to-point mapping of seismic data using the predictive painting technique. The theoretical contents of the proposed technique are tested on a simple synthetic data example and applied to a field data set.

A patch of prestack data depends on four spatial dimensions ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] midpoints and [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] offsets) and frequency. The spatial data at one temporal frequency can be represented by a fourth-order tensor. In ideal conditions of high signal-to-noise ratio and complete sampling, one can assume that the seismic data can be approximated via a low-rank fourth-order tensor. Missing samples were recovered by reinserting data obtained by approximating the original noisy and incomplete data volume with new observations obtained via the rank-reduction process. The higher-order singular value decompostion was used to reduce the rank of the prestack seismic tensor. Synthetic data demonstrated the ability of the proposed seismic data completion algorithm to reconstruct events with curvature. The synthetic example allowed to quantify the quality of the reconstruction for different levels of noise and survey sparsity. We also provided a real data example from the Western Canadian sedimentary basin.
