Desert seismic data pose a particular problem due to its low signal-to-noise ratio and severe spectral overlapping. Most of the existing denoising methods have negative suppression effect on the de...

Desert mixed seismic noise suppression by using multiple forward models and a supervised deep-learning method

Random noise, which has a significant impact on subsequent processing and interpretation, easily interferes with seismic data. Current convolutional neural networks (CNN) use a single-stage technique to boost network capacity by exploiting the complicated network structure, but the performance of the network becomes saturated and prone to overfitting at a certain stage. Hence, we propose a two-stage U-Net denoising network with a supervised attention module (UNet-SAM). In this supervised algorithm, the first stage obtains the pre-denoising results, while the second stage achieves more accurate data. The supervised attention module (SAM) block is inserted in the first stage, extracting features with supervised attention to utilise as a priori information and guide the fine denoising in the second stage. The combination of the attention mechanism and two-stage strategy provides prior information that helps to train a network with better denoising performance. Experiments on synthetic and field data illustrate that the proposed UNet-SAM not only has a superior denoising effect but also retains more of the original effective signal. 

Seismic random noise attenuation via a two-stage U-net with supervised attention

Due to the severe interference of background noise, the signal-to-noise ratio of desert seismic data is extremely low. In addition, due to low-frequency characteristics of sand in the Tarim desert ...
