Abstract
Due to the severe interference of background noise, the signal-to-noise ratio of desert seismic data is extremely low. In addition, due to low-frequency characteristics of sand in the Tarim desert region, the background noise in desert seismic data is mainly distributed in low-frequency band, so that the frequency spectrum aliasing of effective signals and background noise is more serious than the general land seismic data. Thus, conventional filtering methods cannot effectively suppress background noise in desert seismic data and recover effective signals. In order to overcome the problem that low-frequency background noise in desert seismic data is hard to suppress, a new method called R-TNRD based on robust principal component analysis (RPCA) algorithm and trainable nonlinear reaction diffusion (TNRD) network is proposed in this paper. By using the good sparsity of RPCA, the input noisy desert seismic data are decomposed into a low-rank matrix and a sparse matrix, and these two matrices contain background noise and effective signals. Due to the serious spectrum aliasing of desert seismic data, conventional thresholds have been unable to extract effective signals from the two matrices obtained by RPCA effectively. Therefore, we introduce TNRD network into desert seismic data denoising. By network training with a low-frequency noise set, the optimisation of TNRD network can be achieved, so as to accurately extract the effective signals from the low-rank matrix and the sparse matrix. In the experimental part, we test the performance of R-TNRD on both synthetic and real seismic data. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can suppress background noise more effectively than conventional methods.
