Description
Summary:Seismic reflection coefficient inversion in the joint time-frequency domain is a method for inverting reflection coefficients using time domain and frequency domain information simultaneously. It can effectively improve the time-frequency resolution of seismic data. However, existing research lacks an analysis of the factors that affect the resolution of inversion results. In this paper, we analyze the influence of parameters, such as the length of the time window, the size of the sliding step, the dominant frequency band, and the regularization factor of the objective function on inversion results. The SPGL1 algorithm for basis pursuit denoising was used to solve our proposed objective function. The applied geological model and experimental field results show that our method can obtain a high-resolution seismic reflection coefficient section, thus providing a potential avenue for high-resolution seismic data processing and seismic inversion, especially for thin reservoir inversion and prediction.
