A system is for processing seismic data for a geologic formation generated by an array of acoustic transducers responsive to an acoustic source. The system may include a seismic data storage device, and a processor cooperating with the seismic data storage device to generate correlations of data from the array of acoustic transducers based upon a current estimate for at least one of density and velocity of the geologic formation, and perform a linear optimization based upon a plurality of different combinations of the correlations to determine a given subset of correlations having a highest objective function associated therewith. The processor may also update the current estimate for at least one of density and velocity of the geologic formation based upon the given subset of correlations.

System for processing seismic data based upon linear optimization and related methods

A system for processing seismic data for a geologic formation generated by an array of acoustic transducers responsive to an acoustic source may include a seismic data storage device and a processor. The processor may cooperate with the seismic data storage device to use a volatility measurement model to generate current correlations of data from the array of acoustic transducers based upon a current estimate for at least one of density and velocity of the geologic formation, and compare the current correlations to a threshold. When the current correlations are below the threshold, the processor may update the current estimate for at least one of density and velocity of the geologic formation, and repeat use of the volatility measurement model to generate updated correlations of data from the array of acoustic transducers based upon the updated estimate for at least one of density and velocity of the geologic formation.
