Compressive Image Recovery


Seismic image acquisition can be costly and time consuming. We adopted an appropriately designed Wasserstein generative adversarial network on compressed seismic image recovery. We first trained a pixel inpainting network on several historical surveys, and then propose a non-uniform sampling recommendation based on the evaluation of reconstructed seismic images and metrics. Our results demonstrated a runtime approximately 300 times faster than the conventional method, and better seismic reconstruction accuracy than the original GAN network.
