This low-frequency content is then used to kickstart FWI and avoid cycle skipping at higher frequencies. In simulations, the structural similarity index measure and peak signal-to-noise ratio of the reconstructed image improve by 0.28 and 8.6 dB, respectively, as a result of frequency differencing.

Comparatively, when it is in an over-matched state, the SAC will decrease monotonically.
