Abstract:
Distributed optical fiber acoustic sensing (DAS) is an emerging acquisition technology in seismic exploration. However, DAS records are always affected by the complex background noise, resulting in a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In addition, the DAS background noise has different properties from the noise existing in conventional seismic data. Thus, conventional denoising methods may degrade the record when dealing with complex DAS data. To improve the denoising capability, a novel denoising network, called residual modular cascaded heterogeneous network (RMCHN), is proposed. In general, the network is based on the idea of heterogeneous convolution and modular convolutional neural networks. Specifically, different modules are designed to extract the discriminatory features of the DAS data through effective information integration. On this basis, heterogeneous convolution combined with long and short path feature learning strategy is employed to fuse the captured features, thereby improving the feature expression capability and avoiding the information loss. Both synthetic and field denoising results indicate that RMCHN can suppress the DAS background noise with excellent performance in signal restoration, even for the weak signals form deep strata.
