Abstract

A method of estimating a set of physical parameters, the method comprising iteratively inverting an equation to minimise an error between simulated data and measured data and to provide an estimated set of physical parameters, wherein said iteratively inverting comprises at least a first inversion step and a second inversion step and wherein the simulated data depend on a model vector representing the set of physical parameters, applying a compression operator to the model vector representing the set of physical parameters to reduce the number of free variables and to produce a compressed model vector and varying the compression operator between the first inversion step and the second inversion step.
