Physical-State-Guided Diffusion Sampling (PSG) couples a persistent physical velocity model to a diffusion prior via a Gaussian bridge, allowing the physical state to be refined by waveform fitting while guiding the reverse diffusion process. This approach separates wave‑equation and denoiser gradients, preserving conventional FWI initialization and optimization history. PSG outperforms classical and diffusion‑based baselines on four OpenFWI families, maintains strong structural recovery under noise, and supports large‑scale models like Marmousi, Overthrust, and BP2004 Salt without retraining.

The paper presents a seismic acoustic impedance inversion framework that uses a conditional latent generative diffusion model. By performing inversion in latent space and incorporating a lightweight wavelet-based module, the method reduces training overhead and improves efficiency. Numerical and field experiments show high accuracy, strong generalization, and enhanced geological detail with fewer diffusion steps.
