Tomographic inversion using $\ell_1$-norm regularization of wavelet coefficients

Geophysics 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

We propose the use of 1\ell_1 regularization in a wavelet basis for the solution of linearized seismic tomography problems Am=dAm=d, allowing for the possibility of sharp discontinuities superimposed on a smoothly varying background. An iterative method is used to find a sparse solution mm that contains no more fine-scale structure than is necessary to fit the data dd to within its assigned errors.
