Up-down wavefield decomposition.

Apply seismic wavefield decomposition from its multi-component (pressure and vertical particle velocity) data.

Parameters:

p : np.ndarray

Pressure data of of size \(\lbrack n_r \times n_t \rbrack\) (or \(\lbrack n_{r,sub} \times n_t \rbrack\) in case a restriction operator is provided, and \(n_{r,sub}\) must agree with the size of the output of this an operator)

vz : np.ndarray

Vertical particle velocity data of size \(\lbrack n_r \times n_t \rbrack\) (or \(\lbrack n_{r,sub} \times n_t \rbrack\))

nt : int

Number of samples along the time axis

nr : np.ndarray

Number of samples along the receiver axis of the separated pressure consituents

dt : float

Sampling along the time axis

dr : float

Sampling along the receiver array of the separated pressure consituents

rho : float

Density along the receiver array (must be constant)

vel : float

Velocity along the receiver array (must be constant)

nffts : tuple, optional

Number of samples along the wavenumber and frequency axes

critical : float, optional

Percentage of angles to retain in obliquity factor. For example, if critical=100 only angles below the critical angle \(\frac{f(k_x)}{vel}\) will be retained

ntaper : float, optional

Number of samples of taper applied to obliquity factor around critical angle

kind : str, optional

Type of separation: inverse (default) or analytical

scaling : float, optional

Scaling to apply to the particle velocity data at the

restriction : pylops.LinearOperator, optional

Restriction operator

sptransf : pylops.LinearOperator, optional

Sparsifying operator

solver : float, optional

Function handle of solver to be used if kind='inverse'

dottest : bool, optional

Apply dot-test

dtype : str, optional

Type of elements in input array.

**kwargs_solver

Arbitrary keyword arguments for chosen solver

Returns:

pup : np.ndarray

Up-going wavefield

pdown : np.ndarray

Down-going wavefield

Raises:

KeyError

If kind is neither analytical nor inverse

Notes

Up- and down-going components of seismic data (\(p^-(x, t)\) and \(p^+(x, t)\)) can be estimated from multi-component data (\(p(x, t)\) and \(v_z(x, t)\)) by computing the following expression [1]:

\[\begin{split}\begin{bmatrix} \mathbf{p^+}(k_x, \omega) \\ \mathbf{p^-}(k_x, \omega) \end{bmatrix} = \frac{1}{2} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & \frac{\omega \rho}{k_z} \\ 1 & - \frac{\omega \rho}{k_z} \\ \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} \mathbf{p}(k_x, \omega) \\ \mathbf{v_z}(k_x, \omega) \end{bmatrix}\end{split}\]

if kind='analytical' or alternatively by solving the equation in ptcpy.waveeqprocessing.UpDownComposition2D as an inverse problem, if kind='inverse'.

The latter approach has several advantages as data regularization can be included as part of the separation process allowing the input data to be aliased. This is obtained by solving the following problem:

\[\begin{split}\begin{bmatrix} \mathbf{p} \\ s*\mathbf{v_z} \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} \mathbf{R}\mathbf{F} & 0 \\ 0 & s*\mathbf{R}\mathbf{F} \end{bmatrix} \mathbf{W} \begin{bmatrix} \mathbf{F}^H \mathbf{S} & 0 \\ 0 & \mathbf{F}^H \mathbf{S} \end{bmatrix} \mathbf{p^{\pm}}\end{split}\]

where \(\mathbf{R}\) is a ptcpy.basicoperators.Restriction operator and \(\mathbf{S}\) is sparsyfing transform operator (e.g., ptcpy.signalprocessing.Radon2D).
