Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed. The method includes obtaining seismic data for a geological region of interest, a velocity model, and an attenuation model. The seismic data includes an amplitude and a phase of seismic waves traveling from a seismic source location. The method further includes determining a traveltime model using the seismic source location, the velocity model, and a traveltime Eikonal function and determining an attenuated traveltime model using a parallel fast sweeping method. The parallel fast sweeping method includes Cuthill-McKee ordering a plurality of grid nodes. The plurality of grid nodes represents the geological region of interest. The parallel fast sweeping method further includes using the seismic source location, the velocity model, the attenuation model, the traveltime model, and an attenuated traveltime Eikonal function. The method still further includes generating an updated attenuation model using the attenuated traveltime model, the amplitude, and the phase.
