Summary:

      High resolution deconvolution and acoustic impedance inversion of seismic reflection

data is extremely important in order to describe the geometry and the physical properties of

      subsurface structures. High resolution deconvolution results are taken as the reflectivity

coefficient series of the earth. However, when the content of the seismic data noise is increased,

      traditional inversion methods such as the least squares and quadratic regularization methods

mostly lead to unreliable and low quality results. In this thesis, in order to produce high

      resolution deconvolution and reliable acoustic impedance results Cauchy norm regularization

inversion method was used. This method, has high anti-noise ability and provides high

      impedance accuracy. Based on Cauchy probability density function, a prior information was

included into the Cauchy norm regularization to enforce sparseness. An iterative re-weighted

      least squares (IRLS) algorithm was used and the quality of the solution was improved by adding

Cauchy norm regularization prior information (diagonal matrix) at the start of the inversion

      matrix. On every iteration result, the solution was weighted. The respective results of the high

resolution deconvolution were transformed into high resolution, reliable and accurate acoustic

      impedance traces using inversion algorithms.
