Marmousi model estimation using 2-D nonstationary PEFs: first test

F = Born Modeling Operator
A = 2-D PEF (Prediction error filter)

Three images:
  1. Marmousi true model
  2. Marmousi estimated without PEF:   L2 norm minimization of r(m) =   Fm-d.
  3. Marmousi estimated with 2-D PEF:  L2 norm minimization of r(m)=A(Fm-d).

While iteration brings the residual downward, it brings the estimated model upward.   Without the PEF only 18% of the model is recovered.   The PEF brings it up to 31% of the true model.   Why not 100%?   In principle, the number of iterations required is 121x369=44,649.

Antoine Guitton did all the computing from August 14 to September 14, 2018
Jon Claerbout struggled over the theory and presentation since finishing his 2014 textbook (GIEE).
