Convolutional neural network- (CNN-) based deep learning (DL) architectures have achieved great success in many fields such as remote sensing, medical image processing, and computer vision. Recently, CNN-based models have also been attempted to solve geophysical problems. This paper presents a noise attenuation method of seismic data via a novel deep learning (DL) architecture, namely, deep multiscale fusion network (MSFN). Firstly, we integrate multiscale fusion (MSF) block to adaptively exploit local signal features at different scales from seismic data. And then, a series of stacked MSF blocks are formed into MSFN, which can restore the noisy seismic data effectively and preserve more useful signal information. Furthermore, a comparative study of our method and other leading edge ones is conducted by using synthetic seismic records and the SEG/EAGE salt and overthrust models. The results qualitatively and quantitatively show the capability of our method of achieving higher peak signal-to-noise ratios (PSNRs) while preserving much more useful information, comparing with other methods. Finally, our method is utilized in the real seismic data processing, obtaining satisfactory results.

Noise attenuation for ordinary images using machine learning technology has achieved great success in the computer vision field. However, directly applying these models to seismic data would not be effective since the evaluation criteria from the geophysical domain require a high-quality visualized image and the ability to maintain original seismic signals from the contaminated wavelets. This paper introduces an approach equipped with a specially designed deep learning model that can effectively attenuate swell noise with different intensities and characteristics from shot gathers with a relatively simple workflow applicable to marine seismic data sets. Three significant benefits are introduced from the proposed deep learning model. First, our deep learning model doesn't need to consume a pure swell-noise model. Instead, a contaminated swell-noise model derived from field data sets (which may contain other noises or primary signals) can be used for training. Second, inspired by the conventional algorithm for coherent noise attenuation, our neural network model is designed to learn and detect the swell noise rather than inferring the attenuated seismic data. Third, several comparisons (signal-to-noise ratio, mean squared error, and intensities of residual swell noises) indicate that the deep learning approach has the capability to remove swell noise without harming the primary signals. The proposed deep learning-based approach can be considered as an alternative approach that combines and takes advantage of both the conventional and data-driven method to better serve swell-noise attenuation. The comparable results also indicate that the deep learning method has strong potential to solve other coherent noise-attenuation tasks for seismic data.

Primary reflections in seismic records are often obscured by coherent noise making processing and interpretation difficult. Trapped water modes, surface waves, scattered waves, air waves, and tube waves to name a few, must be removed early in the processing sequence to optimize subsequent processing and imaging. We have developed a noise canceling algorithm that effectively removes many of the commonly encountered noise trains in seismic data. All currently available techniques for coherent noise attenuation suffer from limitations that introduce unacceptable signal distortions and artifacts. Also, most of those techniques impose the dual stringent requirements of equal and fine spatial sampling in the field acquisition of seismic data. Our technique takes advantage of characteristics usually found in coherent noise such as being localized in time, highly aliased, nondispersive (or only mildly so), and exhibit a variety of moveout patterns across the seismic records. When coherent noise is localized in time, a window much like a surgical mute is drawn around the noise. The algorithm derives an estimate of the noise in the window, automatically correcting for amplitude and phase differences, and adaptively subtracts this noise from the window of data. This signal estimate is then placed back in the record. In a model and a land data example, the algorithm removes noise more effectively with less signal distortion than does f-k filtering or velocity notch filtering. Downgoing energy in a vertical seismic profile (VSP) with irregular receiver spacing is also removed.

Abstract Deep learning (DL) has attracted tremendous interest in various fields in last few years. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) based DL architectures have been successfully applied in computer vision, medical image processing, remote sensing, and many other fields. A recent work has proved that CNNs based models can also be used to handle geophysical problems. Due to noises in seismic signals acquired by geophone equipment this kind of important multimedia resources cannot be effectively utilized in practice. To this end, from the perspective of seismic exploration informatization, this paper takes informatization data in seismic signal acquisition and energy exploration field using cutting-edge technologies such as Internet of things and cloud computing as the research object, presenting a novel CNNs based seismic data denoising (SeisDeNet) architecture is suggested. Firstly, a multi-scale residual dense (MSRD) block is built to leverage the characteristics of seismic data. Then, a deep MSRD network (MSRDN) is proposed to restore the noisy seismic data in a coarse-to-fine manner by using cascading MSRDs. Additionally, the denoising problem is formulated into predicting transform-domain coefficients, by which noises can be further removed by MSRDNs while richer structure details are preserved comparing with the results in spatial domain. By using synthetic seismic records, public SEG and EAGE salt and overthrust seismic model and real field seismic data, the proposed method is qualitatively and quantitatively compared with other leading edge schemes to evaluate it performance, and some results shows that the proposed scheme can produce data with higher quality evaluation while maintaining far more useful data comparing with other schemes. The feasibility of this approach is confirmed by the denoising results, and this approach is shown to be promising in suppressing the seismic noise automatically.

SUMMARY One of the difficulties in desert seismic data processing is the large spectral overlap between noise and reflected signals. Existing denoising algorithms usually have a negative impact on the resolution and fidelity of seismic data when denoising, which is not conducive to the acquisition of underground structures and lithology related information. Aiming at this problem, we combine traditional method with deep learning, and propose a new feature extraction and denoising strategy based on a convolutional neural network, namely VMDCNN. In addition, we also build a training set using field seismic data and synthetic seismic data to optimize network parameters. The processing results of synthetic seismic records and field seismic records show that the proposed method can effectively suppress the noise that shares the same frequency band with the reflected signals, and the reflected signals have almost no energy loss. The processing results meet the requirements of high signal-to-noise ratio, high resolution and high fidelity for seismic data processing.

Linear coherent noise attenuation is a troublesome problem in a variety of seismic exploration areas. Traditional methods often use the differences in frequency, wavenumber, or amplitude to separate the useful signal and coherent noise. However, the application of traditional methods is limited or even invalid when the aforementioned differences between useful signal and coherent noise are too small to be distinguished. For this reason, we have managed to develop a new algorithm from the differences in the shape of seismic waves, and thus, introduce mathematical morphological filtering (MMF) into coherent noise attenuation. The morphological operation is calculated in the trace direction of a rotating coordinate system. This rotating coordinate system is along the direction of the trajectory of coherent noise to make the energy of the coherent noise distributed along the horizontal direction. The MMF approach is more effective than mean and median filters in rejecting abnormal values and causes fewer artifacts compared with [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] filtering. Our technique requires that coherent noise can be picked successfully. Application of our technique on synthetic and field seismic data demonstrates its successful performance.
