Abstract
A method includes receiving seismic data and an initial velocity model, generating a first seismic image based at least in part on the seismic data and the initial velocity model, training a machine learning model to predict salt masks based at least in part on seismic images, merging the initial velocity model and the first salt mask to generate a first modified velocity model, generating an updated velocity model based at least in part on the first modified velocity model, generating a second seismic image based at least in part on the updated velocity model, predicting a second salt mask based at least in part on the second seismic image and the updated velocity model, using the trained machine learning model, and merging the updated velocity model and the second salt mask to generate a second modified velocity model.
