Análise de sensibilidade para estereotomografia em meios elípticos e anelípticos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2005-12) BARBOSA, Brenda Silvana de Souza; COSTA, Jessé Carvalho; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7294174204296739
Stereotomography is extended to general anisotropic models and implemented for elliptical and anelliptical anisotropy. The elliptical and anelliptical models present only three parameters. This makes them less sensitive to the ambiguity due to limited coverage of surface seismic experiments than transversaly isotropic or orthorhombic models. The corresponding approximations of the slowness surface restrict the validity of the present approach to qP events and mild anisotropy. Numerical experiments show the potential and the limitations of stereotomography in estimating macro-velocity models suitable for imaging in the presence of anisotropy as well as the importance of transmission events from multiple-offset VSP experiments for the success of the approach.

The determination of an accurate velocity model is a fundamental requirement for the seismic imaging. New methods, such as prestack stereotomography and poststack NIP wave tomography, are powerful and very suggestive tools for this task. The prestack stereotomography is basically based on the concept of locally coherent events interpreted as primary reflections and that are associated to ray segments that are linked through the same reflection point in depth. In NIP wave tomography a seismic event is represented by a hypothetic NIP wave that is associated to a reflection point in depth. The NIP wave attributes are determined during Common Reflection Surface (CRS) procedure. The objective of this work is to compare both methods of velocity model determination in depth. Then a review of the theoretical foundations of both tomographic methods are made, considering its main differences, and then applied to a synthetic data and a real marine dataset (seismic line 214-2660 of the Jequitinhonha Basin, Brazil). In order to evaluate the velocity models determined by these two approximations, the data were prestack depth migrated using the Kirchhoff algorithm and also generated Common Image Gathers (CIG). The results have shown that both tomographic methods yield representative velocity models. However, it was noticed that the velocity model estimated by stereotomography behaved better in laterally varying media, but only applied in prestack data with a high signal-to-noise ratio.

Regularização em estereotomografia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009) MELO, Luiz André Veloso; COSTA, Jessé Carvalho; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7294174204296739
Obtaining an accurate velocity model is an essential part of imaging complex structures. In complex environments, conventional methods do not produce satisfactory results. Slope tomography is an effective tool for improving the velocity estimate. This method uses the slowness components and traveltimes of picked reection or difraction events for velocity model building. On the other hand, the unavoidable data incompleteness requires additional information to assure stability of inversion. One natural constraint for raybased tomography is a smooth velocity model. This study proposes to evaluate smoothness regularizations to slope tomography that require the evaluation of partial derivatives of the velocity model with respect to the spatial coordinates. One of evaluated regularizations is a new kind of smoothness constraint based on the reection angle. I evaluate results measuring data mist, velocity model results and scattering points recovered after inversion on synthetic data. In numerical tests the new constraint leads to geologically consistent models.
