description The Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method based on Metropolis−Hastings (MH) sampling is a popular approach in solving seismic acoustic impedance (AI) inversion problem, as it can improve the inversion resolution by statistical prior information. However, the sampling function of the traditional MH sampling is a fixed parameter distribution. The parameter ignores the statistical information of AI that expands sampling range and reduces the inversion efficiency and resolution. To reduce the sampling range and improve the efficiency, we apply the statistical information of AI to the sampling function and build a Gaussian MH sampling with data driving (GMHDD) approach to the sampling function. Moreover, combining GMHDD and MCMC, we propose a novel Bayesian AI inversion method based on GMHDD. Finally, we use the Marmousi2 data and field data to test the proposed method based on GMHDD and other methods based on traditional MH. The results reveal that the proposed method can improve the efficiency and resolution of impedance inversion than other methods.
