The WesternGeco 3D prestack acoustic Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) uses the two-way wave-equation to produce high-resolution velocity models. FWI performs forward modeling to compute the differences between the acquired seismic data and the current model, and a process similar to reverse time migration of the residual dataset to compute a gradient volume and to update the velocity model.
