For some acquisition geometries, the cost of Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) can be considerably reduced by inverting simultaneously encoded shots. Encoded‐shot strategies have the undesirable effect of leaving crosstalk noise in the final result. For FWI, changing the coding sequence periodically mitigates this effect. Another alternative is to use preconditioning, whereby the gradient is smoothed at every iteration along predefined directions. Preconditioning steers the solution towards accurate models while attenuating crosstalk artefacts. It also increases convergence speed and robustness to noise present in the data.
