An Efficient Self-supervised Seismic Data Reconstruction Method Based on Self-Consistency Learning

Seismic exploration remains the most critical method for characterizing subsurface structures in geophysics. However, complex surface conditions often cause a non-uniform distribution of seismic receivers along survey lines, leading to irregularly acquired seismic data, which affects subsequent processing and inversion. Prior deep learning-based seismic data reconstruction methods typically rely on datasets for supervised training. While some existing methods avoid extra data, they lack effective constraints on reconstructed data, leading to unstable performance. In this study, we propose a self-supervised self-consistency learning strategy with a lightweight network for seismic data reconstruction. Our method requires no extra datasets, and it leverages inter-component correlations in seismic data to design a loss function, optimizing a network with only 188,849 learnable parameters. Validated on two public seismic datasets, results demonstrate our approach yields high-quality reconstruction, providing significant value for large-scale and complex seismic exploration tasks.

Physics-Informed Cross-Learning for Seismic Acoustic Impedance Inversion and Wavelet Extraction

Seismic acoustic impedance inversion is one of the most challenging tasks in geophysical exploration. Many studies have proposed the use of deep learning for processing; however, most of them are limited by factors such as seismic wavelets and low-frequency initial models. Furthermore, self-supervised frameworks constructed entirely using deep learning models struggle to form direct and effective physical constraints to unlabeled outputs during the multi-model concatenation, which leads to instability in inversion. In this work, we introduced innovations in both the deep learning framework and training strategy. First, we designed a deep learning framework to perform acoustic impedance inversion and seismic wavelet extraction simultaneously. Building on this foundation, considering the scarcity of well data, we proposed a physics-informed cross-learning strategy to impose effective constraints on the framework. We conducted comparative experiments and ablation experiments on both synthetic datasets and field datasets. The results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a significant improvement compared with semi-supervised learning methods and can extract seismic wavelets with relatively high accuracy. Finally, to ensure the reproducibility of this work, we have made the code open-source.

Encoder-Inverter Framework for Seismic Acoustic Impedance Inversion

Seismic acoustic impedance inversion is a challenging problem in geophysical exploration, primarily due to the scarcity of well-logging data and the inherent nonlinearity of the task. Most existing inversion methods, including semi-supervised learning approaches, still face limitations in accuracy and robustness. In this work, we propose a novel Encoder-Inverter framework that maps continuous seismic traces into high-dimensional linear features, thereby transforming the inversion task into a linear extrapolation or interpolation problem to enhance stability and performance. To achieve this, we introduce two auxiliary models to assist in encoder training and adopt a heterogeneous model structure to prevent shortcut learning, enabling the extraction of more generalizable and effective linear features. We evaluate the proposed method on widely used benchmark datasets, and experimental results demonstrate that our approach achieves superior inversion accuracy and robustness compared to previous methods. To promote reproducibility, we will also open-source the data and code.

Strong noise attenuation of seismic data based on Nash equilibrium

Seismic data acquisition is often affected by various types of noise, which degrade data quality and hinder subsequent interpretation. Recovery of seismic data becomes particularly challenging in the presence of strong noise, which significantly impacts both data accuracy and geological analysis. This study proposes a novel single-encoder, multiple-decoder network based on Nash equalization (SEMD-Nash) for effective strong noise attenuation in seismic data. The main contributions of this method are as follows: First, we design a shared encoder-multi-decoder architecture, where an improved encoder extracts key features from the noisy data, and three parallel decoders reconstruct the denoised seismic signal from different perspectives. Second, we develop a multi-objective optimization system that integrates three loss functions-Mean Squared Error (MSE), Perceived Loss, and Structural Similarity Index (SSIM)-to ensure effective signal reconstruction, high-order feature preservation, and structural integrity. Third, we introduce the Nash Equalization Weight Optimizer, which dynamically adjusts the weights of the loss functions, balancing the optimization objectives to improve the models robustness and generalization. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively suppresses strong noise while preserving the geological characteristics of the seismic data.

Semi-Supervised Learning for AVO Inversion with Strong Spatial Feature Constraints

One-dimensional convolution is a widely used deep learning technique in prestack amplitude variation with offset (AVO) inversion; however, it lacks lateral continuity. Although two-dimensional convolution improves lateral continuity, due to the sparsity of well-log data, the model only learns weak spatial features and fails to explore the spatial correlations in seismic data fully. To overcome these challenges, we propose a novel AVO inversion method based on semi-supervised learning with strong spatial feature constraints (SSFC-SSL). First, two-dimensional predicted values are obtained through the inversion network, and the predicted values at well locations are sparsely represented using well-log labels. Subsequently, a label-annihilation operator is introduced, enabling the predicted values at non-well locations to learn the spatial features of well locations through the neural network. Ultimately, a two-way strong spatial feature mapping between non-well locations and well locations is achieved. Additionally, to reduce the dependence on well-log labels, we combine the semi-supervised learning strategy with a low-frequency model, further enhancing the robustness of the method. Experimental results on both synthetic example and field data demonstrate that the proposed method significantly improves lateral continuity and inversion accuracy compared to one- and two-dimensional deep learning techniques.

The Nash-MTL-STCN Method For Prestack Three-Parameter Inversion

Deep learning (DL) techniques have been widely used in prestack three-parameter inversion to address its ill-posed problems. Among these DL techniques, Multi-task learning (MTL) methods can simultaneously train multiple tasks, thereby enhancing model generalization and predictive performance. However, existing MTL methods typically adopt heuristic or non-heuristic approaches to jointly update the gradient of each task, leading to gradient conflicts between different tasks and reducing inversion accuracy. To address this issue, we propose a semi-supervised temporal convolutional network (STCN) based on Nash equilibrium (Nash-MTL-STCN). Firstly, temporal convolutional networks (TCN) with non-causal convolution and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are used as multi-task layers to extract the shared features from partial angle stack seismic data, with CNNs serving as the single-task layer. Subsequently, the feature mechanism is utilized to extract shared features in the multi-task layer through hierarchical processing, and the gradient combination of these shared features is treated as a Nash game for strategy optimization and joint updates. Ultimately, the overall utility of the three-parameter is maximized, and gradient conflicts are alleviated. In addition, to enhance the network's generalization and stability, we have incorporated geophysical forward modeling and low-frequency models into the network. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method overcomes the gradient conflict issue of the conventional MTL methods with constant weights (CW) and achieves higher precision than four widely used non-heuristic MTL methods. Further field data experiments also validate the method's effectiveness.

Adaptive Graded Denoising of Seismic Data Based on Noise Estimation and Local Similarity

Seismic data denoising is an important part of seismic data processing, which directly relate to the follow-up processing of seismic data. In terms of this issue, many authors proposed many methods based on rank reduction, sparse transformation, domain transformation, and deep learning. However, when the seismic data is noisy, complex and uneven, these methods often lead to over-denoising or under-denoising. To solve this problems, we proposed a novel method called noise level estimation and similarity segmentation for graded denoising. Specifically, we first assessed the average noise level of the entire seismic data and denoised it using block matching and three-dimensional filtering (BM3D) methods. Then, the denoised data is contrasted with the residual using local similarity, pinpointing regions where noise levels deviate significantly from the average. The remaining data is retained intact. These areas are then re-evaluated and denoised. Finally, we integrated the data retained after the first denoising with the re-denoising data to get a complete and cleaner data. This method is verified on theoretical model and actual seismic data. The experimental results show that this method has a good effect on seismic data with uneven noise.

High-resolution closed-loop seismic inversion network in time-frequency phase mixed domain

Thin layers and reservoirs may be concealed in areas of low seismic reflection amplitude, making them difficult to recognize. Deep learning (DL) techniques provide new opportunities for accurate impedance prediction by establishing a nonlinear mapping between seismic data and impedance. However, existing methods primarily use time domain seismic data, which limits the capture of frequency bands, thus leading to insufficient resolution of the inversion results. To address these problems, we introduce a new time-frequency-phase (TFP) mixed-domain closed-loop seismic inversion network (TFP-CSIN) to improve the identification of thin layers and reservoirs. First, the inversion network and closed-loop network are constructed by using bidirectional gated recurrent units (Bi-GRU) and convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures, enabling bidirectional mapping between seismic data and impedance data. Next, to comprehensive learning across the entire frequency spectrum, the Fourier transform is used to capture frequency information and establish frequency domain constraints. At the same time, the phase domain constraint is introduced through Hilbert transformation, which improves the method's ability to recognize the weak reflection region features. Both experiments on the synthetic data show that TFP-CSIN outperforms the traditional supervised learning method and time domain semi-supervised learning methods in seismic inversion. The field data further verify that the proposed method improves the identification ability of weak reflection areas and thin layers.

Acoustic Impedance Prediction Using an Attention-Based Dual-Branch Double-Inversion Network

Seismic impedance inversion is a widely used technique for reservoir characterization. Accurate, high-resolution seismic impedance data form the foundation for subsequent reservoir interpretation. Deep learning methods have demonstrated significant potential in seismic impedance inversion. Traditional single semi-supervised networks, which directly input original seismic logging data, struggle to capture high-frequency weak signals. This limitation leads to low-resolution inversion results with inadequate accuracy and stability. Moreover, seismic wavelet uncertainty further constrains the application of these methods to real seismic data. To address these challenges, we propose ADDIN-I: an Attention-based Dual-branch Double-Inversion Network for Impedance prediction. ADDIN-I's dual-branch architecture overcomes the limitations of single-branch semi-supervised networks and improves the extraction of high-frequency weak signal features in sequence modeling. The network incorporates an attention mechanism to further enhance its feature extraction capabilities. To adapt the method for real seismic data applications, a deep learning forward operator is employed to fit the wavelet adaptively. ADDIN-I demonstrates excellent performance in both synthetic and real data applications.

An anti-noise seismic inversion method based on diffusion model

Seismic impedance inversion is one of the most important part of geophysical exploration. However, due to random noise, the traditional semi-supervised learning (SSL) methods lack generalization and stability. To solve this problem, some authors have proposed SSL methods with anti-noise function to improve noise robustness and inversion accuracy. However, such methods are often not ideal when faced with strong noise. In addition, Low-frequency impedance models can mitigate this problem, but creating accurate low-frequency models is difficult and error-prone when well-log data is sparse and subsurface structures are complex. To address those issues, we propose a novel deep learning inversion method called DSIM-USSL (Unsupervised and Semi-supervised joint Learning for Seismic Inversion based on diffusion model). Specifically, we are the first to introduce a diffusion model with strong noise tendency and construct a diffusion seismic inversion model (DSIM). In the reverse diffusion of DSIM, we design the encoder-decoder which combines CNN for capturing local features and GRU for global sequence modeling; and we choose U-net to learn the distribution of random noise, enhancing the generalization and stability of proposed method. Furthermore, to further improve generalization of the proposed method, a two-step training approach (USSL) is utilized. First, an unsupervised trained encoder-decoder is used as the initial network model in place of the traditional low-frequency wave impedance model that is difficult to accurately acquire. Then, the SSL is employed to further optimize the encoder-decoder model. Experimental results on the Marmousi2 model and field data demonstrate that the DSIM-USSL method achieves higher accuracy in the presence of seismic data with random noise, and maintains high stability even under strong noise conditions.

Fast Diffusion Model For Seismic Data Noise Attenuation

Noise is one of the primary sources of interference in seismic exploration. Many authors have proposed various methods to remove noise from seismic data; however, in the face of strong noise conditions, satisfactory results are often not achievable. In recent years, methods based on diffusion models have been applied to the task of strong noise processing in seismic data. However, due to iterative computations, the computational efficiency of diffusion-based methods is much lower than conventional methods. To address this issue, we propose using an improved Bayesian equation for iterations, removing the stochastic terms from the computation. Additionally, we proposed a new normalization method adapted to the diffusion model. Through various improvements, on synthetic datasets and field datasets, our proposed method achieves significantly better noise attenuation effects compared to the benchmark methods, while also achieving a several-fold increase in computational speed. We employ transfer learning to demonstrate the robustness of our proposed method on open-source synthetic seismic data and validate on open-source field data sets. Finally, we open-sourced the code to promote the development of high-precision and efficient seismic exploration work.

Scale-aware Insertion of Virtual Objects in Monocular Videos

In this paper, we propose a scale-aware method for inserting virtual objects with proper sizes into monocular videos. To tackle the scale ambiguity problem of geometry recovery from monocular videos, we estimate the global scale objects in a video with a Bayesian approach incorporating the size priors of objects, where the scene objects sizes should strictly conform to the same global scale and the possibilities of global scales are maximized according to the size distribution of object categories. To do so, we propose a dataset of sizes of object categories: Metric-Tree, a hierarchical representation of sizes of more than 900 object categories with the corresponding images. To handle the incompleteness of objects recovered from videos, we propose a novel scale estimation method that extracts plausible dimensions of objects for scale optimization. Experiments have shown that our method for scale estimation performs better than the state-of-the-art methods, and has considerable validity and robustness for different video scenes. Metric-Tree has been made available at: https://metric-tree.github.io

LPD-Net: 3D Point Cloud Learning for Large-Scale Place Recognition and Environment Analysis

Point cloud based place recognition is still an open issue due to the difficulty in extracting local features from the raw 3D point cloud and generating the global descriptor, and it's even harder in the large-scale dynamic environments. In this paper, we develop a novel deep neural network, named LPD-Net (Large-scale Place Description Network), which can extract discriminative and generalizable global descriptors from the raw 3D point cloud. Two modules, the adaptive local feature extraction module and the graph-based neighborhood aggregation module, are proposed, which contribute to extract the local structures and reveal the spatial distribution of local features in the large-scale point cloud, with an end-to-end manner. We implement the proposed global descriptor in solving point cloud based retrieval tasks to achieve the large-scale place recognition. Comparison results show that our LPD-Net is much better than PointNetVLAD and reaches the state-of-the-art. We also compare our LPD-Net with the vision-based solutions to show the robustness of our approach to different weather and light conditions.

SeqLPD: Sequence Matching Enhanced Loop-Closure Detection Based on Large-Scale Point Cloud Description for Self-Driving Vehicles

Place recognition and loop-closure detection are main challenges in the localization, mapping and navigation tasks of self-driving vehicles. In this paper, we solve the loop-closure detection problem by incorporating the deep-learning based point cloud description method and the coarse-to-fine sequence matching strategy. More specifically, we propose a deep neural network to extract a global descriptor from the original large-scale 3D point cloud, then based on which, a typical place analysis approach is presented to investigate the feature space distribution of the global descriptors and select several super keyframes. Finally, a coarse-to-fine strategy, which includes a super keyframe based coarse matching stage and a local sequence matching stage, is presented to ensure the loop-closure detection accuracy and real-time performance simultaneously. Thanks to the sequence matching operation, the proposed approach obtains an improvement against the existing deep-learning based methods. Experiment results on a self-driving vehicle validate the effectiveness of the proposed loop-closure detection algorithm.
