This addresses the computational cost and initial model dependency issues in seismic inversion for geophysical exploration, representing a domain-specific incremental improvement.

The paper tackles the problem of seismic inversion in geophysical exploration by proposing a Conditional Rectified Flow-based method that achieves excellent inversion accuracy on the OpenFWI benchmark dataset, with sampling acceleration compared to Diffusion methods and higher accuracy than InversionNet methods.

Seismic inversion is a core problem in geophysical exploration, where traditional methods suffer from high computational costs and are susceptible to initial model dependence. In recent years, deep generative model-based seismic inversion methods have achieved remarkable progress, but existing generative models struggle to balance sampling efficiency and inversion accuracy. This paper proposes an end-to-end fast seismic inversion method based on Conditional Rectified Flow[1], which designs a dedicated seismic encoder to extract multi-scale seismic features and adopts a layer-by-layer injection control strategy to achieve fine-grained conditional control. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves excellent inversion accuracy on the OpenFWI[2] benchmark dataset. Compared with Diffusion[3,4] methods, it achieves sampling acceleration; compared with InversionNet[5,6,7] methods, it achieves higher accuracy in generation. Our zero-shot generalization experiments on Marmousi[8,9] real data further verify the practical value of the method. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves excellent inversion accuracy on the OpenFWI benchmark dataset; compared with Diffusion methods, it achieves sampling acceleration while maintaining higher accuracy than InversionNet methods; experiments based on the Marmousi standard model further verify that this method can generate high-quality initial velocity models in a zero-shot manner, effectively alleviating the initial model dependency problem in traditional Full Waveform Inversion (FWI), and possesses industrial practical value.
