Random noise attenuation via the randomized canonical polyadic decomposition

Tensor algebra provides a robust framework for multi-dimensional seismic data processing. A low-rank tensor can represent a noise-free seismic data volume. Additive random noise will increase the rank of the tensor. Hence, tensor rank-reduction techniques can be used to filter random noise. Our filtering method adopts the Candecomp/Parafac decomposition to approximates a N-dimensional seismic data volume via the superposition of rank-one tensors. Similar to the singular value decomposition for matrices, a low-rank Candecomp/Parafac decomposition can capture the signal and exclude random noise in situations where a low-rank tensor can represent the ideal noise-free seismic volume. The alternating least squares method is adopted to compute the Candecomp/Parafac decomposition with a provided target rank. This method involves solving a series of highly over-determined linear least-squares subproblems. To improve the efficiency of the alternating least squares algorithm, we uniformly randomly sample equations of the linear least-squares subproblems to reduce the size of the problem significantly. The computational overhead is further reduced by avoiding unfolding and folding large dense tensors. We investigate the applicability of the randomized Candecomp/Parafac decomposition for incoherent noise attenuation via experiments conducted on a synthetic dataset and field data seismic volumes. We also compare the proposed algorithm (randomized Candecomp/Parafac decomposition) against multi-dimensional singular spectrum analysis and classical prediction filtering. We conclude the proposed approach can achieve slightly better denoising performance in terms of signal-to-noise ratio enhancement than traditional methods, but with a less computational cost.

Adaptive hybrid diffusion model using variational mode decomposition for edge preserving noise attenuation

Preserving the structural and stratigraphic discontinuities or edges is essential in seismic data processing and interpretation. According to several numerical experiments, it is obvious that random noise has a constant spectral density, whereas the structural features vary significantly within different frequency bands, which means that the ratio between the densities of noise and structural features varies significantly in different frequency bands. Therefore, we propose a method called adaptive hybrid diffusion to attenuate random noise, which utilizes a novel adaptive frequency-based parameter. First, the adaptive hybrid diffusion method decomposes the seismic sections into several band-limited portions using variational mode decomposition. These portions are called intrinsic mode functions, in which noise and structural energy have distinct differences. Subsequently, utilizing the adaptive frequency-based parameter, each intrinsic mode function is divided into several monotonous portions that represent the noise or structural area. Afterwards, the total variation and L2 minimization algorithms are utilized separately to suppress the noise in different band-limited monotonous areas. The algorithms are chosen dynamically, as the portion changes with the change in the adaptive parameter. Finally, these denoised portions are combined to obtain the denoised seismic section. Experimental results on synthetic and field seismic data showed that seismic noise is effectively suppressed by the adaptive hybrid diffusion method, with the edge details of seismic events well preserved.

Resolution studies for Magnetic Resonance Sounding (MRS) using the singular value decomposition

We present a new approach to analyse the subsurface water content distribution obtained by inversion of MRS data in terms of resolution and penetration depth. It is based on a singular value decomposition (SVD) of the MRS forward operator to derive the model resolution matrix including regularisation parameters, i.e. including noise conditions. The approach takes loop size, subsurface resistivity distribution and noise conditions as input parameters affecting MRS into account and allows an assessment on resolution and penetration.The application of the new approach shows that the loop diameter must be carefully chosen depending on the investigation site to obtain optimal resolution and penetration. Using the introduced resolution measures the quality and reliability of the estimated model can be assessed.     

沙漠地区地震勘探随机噪声建模及其在噪声压制中的应用

随机噪声是影响地震勘探有效信号的主要因素,其存在大大降低了地震记录的信噪比.在噪声压制方法不断被改进的同时,对随机噪声特性进行研究,了解噪声的产生机制是对其进行压制的先决条件,目前对噪声的研究主要是特性研究以寻找规律性,对其进行定性定量的分析还比较少.本文根据塔里木沙漠地区实际采集环境,考虑到噪声的连续性给计算带来的不便,假设各类噪声源以点源的形式分布在检波器周围,依据相应理论确定各类噪声源的源函数,其激发的噪声经由波动方程传播,将随机噪声作为各类噪声源共同作用的综合波场,建立随机噪声的理论模型.通过分析不同种噪声对地震记录的影响,选取合适的滤波方法对其进行压制,实验结果表明,通过建立沙漠地区随机噪声的理论模型,为选择有效的滤波方法,提高地震记录信噪比起到理论指导作用.     

基于非稳态多项式拟合的地震噪声衰减方法研究(英文)

基于非稳态多项式拟合理论,针对地震数据中同相轴振幅变化这一特征,我们提出了一种地震噪声衰减的新方法。非稳态多项式拟合系数是时变的,通过整形正则化约束多项式拟和系数的光滑性,自适应的估计地震数据的相干分量。基于动校正后的共中心点道集(CMP)中地震信号的相干性,利用非稳态多项式拟合估计有效信号,从而衰减随机噪声。对于线性相干噪声,如地滚波,首先利用径向道变换(RadialTraceTransform,RTT)将地震数据变换到时间一视速度域,在时间—视速度域利用非稳态多项式拟合估计出相干噪声,然后减去相干噪声。该方法可以有效的估计振幅变化的相干分量,不需要相干分量振幅为常量的假设。模拟和实际资料处理结果表明,与传统的稳态多项式拟合和低切滤波相比,该方法可以更为有效的衰减地震噪声,同时保真了地震有效信号。

Seismic ground-roll noise attenuation using deep learning

We propose to adopt a deep learning based framework using generative adversarial networks for ground-roll attenuation in land seismic data. Accounting for the non-stationary properties of seismic data and the associated ground-roll noise, we create training labels using local time–frequency transform and regularized non-stationary regression. The basic idea is to train the network using a few shot gathers such that the network can learn the weights associated with noise attenuation for the training shot gathers. We then apply the learned weights to test ground-roll attenuation on shot gathers, that are not a part of training input to obtain the desired signal. This approach gives results similar to local time–frequency transform and regularized non-stationary regression but at a significantly reduced computational cost. The proposed approach automates the ground-roll attenuation process without requiring any manual input in picking the parameters for each shot gather other than in the training data. Tests on field-data examples verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Predictive error dependencies when using pilot points and singular value decomposition in groundwater model calibration

A significant practical problem with the pilot point method is to choose the location of the pilot points. We present a method that is intended to relieve the modeler from much of this responsibility. The basic idea is that a very large number of pilot points are distributed more or less uniformly over the model area. Singular value decomposition (SVD) of the (possibly weighted) sensitivity matrix of the pilot point based model produces eigenvectors of which we pick a small number corresponding to significant eigenvalues. Super parameters are defined as factors through which parameter combinations corresponding to the chosen eigenvectors are multiplied to obtain the pilot point values. The model can thus be transformed from having many-pilot-point parameters to having a few super parameters that can be estimated by nonlinear regression on the basis of the available observations. (This technique can be used for any highly parameterized groundwater model, not only for models parameterized by the pilot point method.)

经验模态分解算法（EMD）是一种基于有效波和噪声尺度差异进行波场分离的随机噪声压制方法,但由于实际地震数据波场复杂,导致模态混叠较严重,仅凭该方法进行去噪很难达到理想效果.本文基于EMD算法对信号多尺度的分解特性,结合Hausdorff维数约束条件,提出一种用于地震随机噪声衰减的新方法.首先对地震数据进行EMD自适应分解,得到一系列具有不同尺度的、分形自相似性的固有模态分量（IMF）;在此基础上,基于有效信号和随机噪声的Hausdorff维数差异,识别混有随机噪声的IMF分量,对该分量进行相关的阈值滤波处理,从而实现有效信号和随机噪声的有效分离.文中从仿真信号试验出发,到模型地震数据和实际地震数据的测试处理,同时与传统的EMD处理结果相对比.结果表明,本文方法对地震随机噪声的衰减有更佳的压制效果.

     

Random noise suppression for seismic data using a non-local Bayes algorithm

For random noise suppression of seismic data, we present a non-local Bayes (NLBayes) filtering algorithm. The NL-Bayes algorithm uses the Gaussian model instead of the weighted average of all similar patches in the NL-means algorithm to reduce the fuzzy of structural details, thereby improving the denoising performance. In the denoising process of seismic data, the size and the number of patches in the Gaussian model are adaptively calculated according to the standard deviation of noise. The NL-Bayes algorithm requires two iterations to complete seismic data denoising, but the second iteration makes use of denoised seismic data from the first iteration to calculate the better mean and covariance of the patch Gaussian model for improving the similarity of patches and achieving the purpose of denoising. Tests with synthetic and real data sets demonstrate that the NL-Bayes algorithm can effectively improve the SNR and preserve the fidelity of seismic data.

Application of singular value decomposition method for location of seismic events in mines

Singular Value Decomposition method of solving a linear system of equations can be successfully used for focus location when both linear and nonlinear methods are applied. This method can also be used to calculate the variance of the separate source coordinates, when the variance of the input data is known. It is also possible to optimize the geometry of a seismic network by using the condition number of the covariance matrix, and to check the set of data which is used for the focus location when some of the data are expected to be incorrect.Examples of applications of the Singular Value Decomposition method are demonstrated for linear and nonlinear methods with reference to the seismic network in Quirke Mine, Ontario, Canada.Presented at the Fred Leighton Memorial Workshop on Mining Induced Seismicity, Montreal, Canada, August 30, 1987.

Pre-processing of data-driven river flow forecasting models by singular value decomposition (SVD) technique

ABSTRACT

An appropriate streamflow forecasting method is a prerequisite for implementation of efficient water resources management in the water-limited, arid regions that occupy much of Iran. In the current research, monthly streamflow forecasting was combined with three data-driven methods based on large input datasets involving 11 precipitation stations, a natural streamflow, and four climate indices through a long period. The major challenges of rainfall–runoff modelling are generally attributed to complex interacting processes, the large number of variables, and strong nonlinearity. The sensitivity of data-driven methods to the dimension of input/output datasets would be another challenge, so large datasets should be compressed into independently standardized principal components. In this study, three pre-processing techniques were applied: singular value decomposition (SVD) provided more efficient forecasts in comparison to principal component analysis (PCA) and average values of inputs in all networks. Among the data-driven methods, the multi-layer perceptron (MLP) with 1-month lag-time outperformed radial basis and fuzzy-based networks. In general, an increase in monthly lag-time of streamflow forecasting resulted in a decline in forecasting accuracy. The results reveal that SVD was highly effective in pre-processing of data-driven evaluations.
