Seismic tomography has long been an effective tool for constructing reliable subsurface structures. However, simultaneous inversion of P- and S-wave velocities presents a significant challenge for conventional seismic tomography methods, which depend on numerical algorithms to calculate traveltimes. A physics informed neural network (PINN)-based seismic tomography method (PINNtomo) has been proposed to solve the eikonal equation and construct the velocity model. Leveraging the powerful approximation capabilities of neural networks, we propose extending PINNtomo to perform multiparameter inversion of P- and S-wave velocities jointly, which we refer to as PINNPStomo. In PINNPStomo, we employ two neural networks: one for the P- and S-wave traveltimes, and another for the P- and S-wave velocities. By optimizing the misfits of P- and S-wave first-arrival traveltimes calculated from the eikonal equations, we can obtain the predicted P- and S-wave velocities that determine these traveltimes. Recognizing that the original PINNtomo utilizes a multiplicative factored eikonal equation, which depends on background traveltimes corresponding to a homogeneous velocity at the source location. We propose a new factored eikonal equation for PINNPStomo to eliminate this dependency. The proposed PINNPStomo, incorporating the new factored eikonal equation, demonstrates superior convergence speed and multiparameter inversion accuracy. We validate these improvements using 2D Marmousi and 2D/3D Overthrust elastic velocity models across three different seismic data acquisition geometries.
