New diffusion model framework enhances seismic acoustic impedance inversion

Researchers have developed a new framework for seismic acoustic impedance inversion using a conditional latent generative diffusion model. This approach operates in the latent space, making it more efficient and applicable to field data than previous pixel-domain methods. The framework incorporates a lightweight module for conditional inputs and a model-driven sampling strategy to improve accuracy and reduce the number of diffusion steps required. Experiments show the method achieves high accuracy and generalization, with practical applications demonstrating enhanced geological detail and consistency with well-log measurements. AI

IMPACT This framework could improve subsurface geological interpretation and resource exploration by enabling more accurate and efficient seismic data analysis.

    Seismic Acoustic Impedance Inversion Framework Based on Conditional Latent Generative Diffusion Model

    arXiv:2506.13529v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Seismic acoustic impedance plays a crucial role in lithological identification and subsurface structure interpretation. However, due to the inherently ill-posed nature of the inversion problem, directly estimating impedanc…
