We devised a data‐driven strategy for the simultaneous estimate of eight CRS traveltime attributes, solving global non‐linear minimization problem without need computing gradients. The essential elements are following: conjugate‐direction method supported by well known convergence properties and an iterative line‐search implementing strong Wolfe‐Powell rule control steplength. resulting algorithm can reach very good solutions in presence many local minima.
Although time-domain depth migration techniques have been successfully ported to run on modern hardware accelerators, their ultimate obstacle is the I/O overhead present during imaging step. Frequency-domain algorithms overcome this limitation and can exploit full potential of new computing technologies. In particular, our implementation Phase Shift Plus Interpolation (PSPI) method characterized by fast running time, good quality results under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions excellent...
Medical ultrasound usually implements ray-based imaging algorithms, in which the most severe limitation involves implicit assumption of constant-velocity media. When there are tissues with different velocities---typical for human body---, image underlying targets is strongly degraded placement and resolution, due to $p\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}h\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}a\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}s\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}e$...
Abstract This study presents the application to medical ultrasonography of a high value-added imaging method developed in context geophysical exploration and based on undulatory description physical process. Currently, most serious limitation conventional ultrasound systems is implicit assumption constant-velocity media stemming from widespread use geometrical ray-based algorithms leading phase aberration phenomena case typical human body two or more tissues with different velocities. As...

The Spectral Element Method (SEM), widely used in engineering sciences but almost unknown Oil&Gas exploration, is a numerical technique for large scale and multi-physics simulations. SEM an h-p approximation of the problem solution that allows quasi-optimal distribution computational points on unstructured grids so as to reduce both memory usage processing time. Thus, when accuracy mandatory complex 3D geometries, becomes excellent alternative Finite Elements (FE) Differences (FD). Its...
