30 seconds summary Full-Waveform Inversion (FWI) is an advanced seismic imaging technique that uses the entire seismic wavefield (amplitudes, phases, scattered energy) to iteratively build highly detailed subsurface models. By more fully leveraging wave propagation physics, FWI enables much finer resolution of velocity, density, and structural heterogeneities than traditional methods. In construction and engineering, this means smarter site characterization...
