SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DATA INVERSION WITH PHASE EXTRAPOLATION

摘要

A system and computer-implemented method for inverting data from an area of interest to determine physical properties of the area of interest is disclosed. The method includes transforming the data into a Fourier frequency domain to obtain frequency domain data wherein the frequency domain data includes an amplitude portion and a phase portion, performing phase unwrapping of the phase portion of the frequency domain data to generate an unwrapped phase portion of unwrapped data, extrapolating the unwrapped phase portion to create extrapolated unwrapped data, and inverting the extrapolated unwrapped data to determine the physical properties of the area of interest. The data inverted may be, for example, seismic data or synthetic aperture radar data. The system includes a data source, an user interface, and a processor configured to execute computer modules designed to implement the method.
