contents This paper presents a level-set based structural approach for the joint inversion of full-waveform and gravity data. The joint inversion aims to integrate the strengths of full-waveform inversion for high resolution imaging and gravity inversion for detecting density contrasts over extensive regions. Although common studies typically only observe full-waveform inversion assisting gravity inversion, we propose three key points that enable gravity data to complement full-waveform data in the joint inversion. (i) Based on the well-posedness theorem, we consider a volume mass distribution where the density-contrast value is imposed as a priori information, ensuring that the gravity data provide meaningful information. (ii) We utilize a level-set formulation to characterize the shared interface of wave velocity and density functions, connecting multi-physics datasets via the structural similarity of their inversion parameters. (iii) We develop a balanced and decaying weight to regulate the influence of multi-physics datasets during joint inversion. This weight comprises a balanced part that accounts for the differing scales of full-waveform and gravity data, and a decaying part designed to effectively utilize the features and advantages of each dataset.
