MondaicThis micro-tutorial demonstrates how to set up a first full waveform inversion with Salvus.
The simulations are very light and do not require any serious resources.
Some familiary with Python as well as knowledge of how to set up forward simulations with Salvus is assumed.
For an in-depth tutorial of running full waveform inversions with Salvus, please have a look at one of our other tutorials.

SALVUS_FLOW_SITE_NAME = os.environ.get("SITE_NAME", "local")We'll generate a ring of transducers, five of which act as sources. This mimics an acquisition setup common in medical devices.
# Generate a ring with 5 scalar sources.
sources = sn.simple_config.source.cartesian.collections.ScalarPoint2DRing(
x=0, y=0, radius=0.09, count=5, f=1.0
)
events = []
# Use the same receiver ring for each but mask out the receivers close to each
# source.

for r in all_receivers._receivers
if np.sqrt(
(s.location[0] - r.location[0]) ** 2
+ (s.location[1] - r.location[1]) ** 2
)
> 0.03
]
events.append(
sn.Event(event_name=f"event_{i}", sources=s, receivers=receivers)
)For FWI we'll need something to invert for. For most applications this will be recorded data from some real world setting. Here we'll define a synthetic inversion target and generate our own data.

Now we do exactly the same thing, but we'll use a homogeneous initial model.

Salvus allows for a lot of control and flexibility in how exactly inverse problems are tackled. Things like data processing, window selection, custom weighting schemes, data normalization, bound constraints, wavelength dependent smoothing, and many more are supported but we don't show them in this micro-tutorial. Please refer to some advanced tutorials for more information.
In all cases, an inverse problem requires the definition of a misfit, e.g. the optimization target, as well the actual configuration of the inverse problem.
# The misfit configuration defines how synthetics are compared to observed data.
p += sn.MisfitConfiguration(
name="L2",
# Could be observed data. Here we compare to the synthetic target.

# Salvus comes with a variety of misfit functions. You can
# also define your own.
misfit_function="L2",
# This is an acoustic simulation so we'll use recordings of phi.
receiver_field="phi",

# Now we define the actual inverse problem

# What parameters to invert for.
