# 05 - FWI with total variation (TV) minimization as constraints¶

## Introduction¶

There is a lot of research on regularization to improve the quality of the final result beyond the simple box constraints implemented in the previous tutorials. In this tutorial we look at how more advanced FWI techniques such as total variation denoising applied as a constraint can be implemented using Devito and scipy.optimize.minimize using scikit-image. This is a variant of the FWI with TV constrains algorithm described in Peters and Herrmann 2017.

Dask is also used here to speed up the examples.

This tutorial uses the same synthetic datasets and model setup as the previous two tutorials, so check back if you get lost on parts of the code specific to Devito, SciPy.optimize or Dask.

## Setting up (synthetic) data¶

We are going to set up the same synthetic test case as for the previous tutorial (refer back for details).

origin = (0., 0.)     # Need origin to define relative source and receiver locations

return shape, spacing, origin

# so we can easily see what is going on.

## FWI with L-BFGS-B¶

Equipped with a function to calculate the functional and gradient, we are finally ready to define the optimization function.

In [2]:
from scipy import optimize
from skimage.restoration import denoise_tv_chambolle as denoise

# Define bounding box constraints on the solution.
def apply_box_constraint(m):
# Maximum possible 'realistic' velocity is 3.5 km/sec
# Minimum possible 'realistic' velocity is 2 km/sec
return np.clip(m, 1/3.5**2, 1/2**2)

# Many optimization methods in scipy.optimize.minimize accept a callback
# function that can operate on the solution after every iteration. Here
# we use this to apply constraints and to monitor the true relative
# solution error.
relative_error = []

def fwi_tv_callbacks(x):
# Apply boundary constraint
x.data[:] = denoise(x.reshape(181, 181), weight=5.0e-3).flatten()
x.data[:] = apply_box_constraint(x)

# Calculate true relative error
true_x = get_true_model().m.data.flatten()
relative_error.append(np.linalg.norm((x-true_x)/true_x))

def fwi(model, param, ftol=1e-6, maxiter=20):
model.m.data.flatten().astype(np.float64),
args=(param, ), method='L-BFGS-B', jac=True,
callback=fwi_tv_callbacks,
options={'ftol':ftol,
'maxiter':maxiter,
'disp':True})

return result


We now apply our FWI function and have a look at the result.
