Abstract
Method for adaptive weighting of geophysical data types in iterative joint inversion to speed convergence and aid escape from local minima of the penalty (objective) function. Two or more geophysical data sets () representing a region of interest are obtained, and are jointly inverted to infer models of the physical properties that affect the particular types of data used. The misfit for each data type is a weighted tem in the penalty function (). The invention involves changing the weights () as the iteration cycles progress when the iteration convergence criteria are satisfied (), to see if they remain satisfied () with the modified penalty function.
