Abstract: A method is described for image-domain full waveform inversion. The method may include receiving, at a computer processor, a seismic dataset representative of the subsurface volume of interest and an initial earth model; performing, via the computer processor, an image domain full waveform inversion to generate an updated earth model; and performing, via the computer processor, seismic imaging of the seismic dataset using the updated earth model to generate a seismic image. The method may be executed by a computer system.
