Abstract
In some embodiments, an apparatus and a system, as well as a method and an article, may operate to receive seismic survey data for use with an isotropic velocity model describing a selected geological formation volume. Further activity may include exhaustively searching the seismic survey data to provide an error map, globally optimizing the error map to provide anisotropy parameters for the selected geological formation volume, and inverting the anisotropy parameters to transform the isotropic velocity model into an anisotropic velocity model for the selected geological formation volume. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are described.
