Abstract

Noise attenuation is a crucial phase in seismic signal processing. Enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of registered seismic signals improves subsequent processing and, eventually, data analysis and interpretation. In this work, a novel noise reduction framework based on an intelligent deep convolutional neural network is proposed that works on segments of the time-frequency domain and, hence named as DeepSeg. The proposed network is efficient in learning sparse representation of the data simultaneously in the time-frequency domain and adaptively capturing seismic signals corrupted with noise. DeepSeg is able to achieve impressive denoising performance even when seismic signal shares common frequency band with noise. The proposed approach properly tackles a variety of correlated (color) and uncorrelated noise, and other nonseismic signals. DeepSeg can boost the SNR considerably even in extremely noisy environments with minimal changes to the signal of interest. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is demonstrated in enhancing passive seismic event detection/denoising. However, there are other obvious applications of the DeepSeg in active and passive seismic fields, e.g., seismic imaging, preprocessing of ambient noise data, and microseismic event monitoring. It is worth pointing out here that the deep neural network is trained exclusively using synthetic seismic data, negating the need for real data during the training phase. Furthermore, the proposed setup is…
