A method for seismic data denoising based on the neural network with a retractable attention mechanism
Random noise in seismic data impairs the quality of the data,thus affecting the accuracy of subsequent processing and inter-pretation.Conventional denoising methods,constrained by prior conditions,exhibit low efficiency.Neural networks possess a strong fea-ture extraction ability,which can make up for these shortcomings.However,the limitations of convolution kernels in conventional neural networks may lead to the loss of global information.Hence,this study introduced a retractable attention mechanism to the convolutional neural network(CNN).This mechanism presents both dense and sparse self-attention modules in the CNN.The alternate use of the two self-attention modules can significantly enhance the performance of the CNN and expand the receptive field.The shallow and deep fea-tures of seismic data were extracted using the convolutional layer and self-attention modules.Combined with CNN's local modeling abili-ty and Transformer's global modeling ability,they contributed to enhancing CNN's global interaction and ability to reduce noise and deal with details.As indicated by the experimental results of synthetic and field data,the method used in this study can more effectively sup-press noise and retain effective information of seismic data compared to Unet and DnCNN,significantly improving the signal-to-noise ra-tio and thus assisting in the processing and interpretation of seismic data.
