Title
Learning From Noisy Data: An Unsupervised Random Denoising Method for Seismic Data Using Model-Based Deep Learning
Abstract
For seismic random noise attenuation, deep learning has attracted much attention and achieved promising performance. However, compared with conventional methods, the denoising performance of supervised learning-based methods heavily depends on massive training samples with high-quality labeled data, which makes their generalization capabilities limited. Even though deep neural networks (DNNs) usually outperform the conventional denoising methods, their performance is not guaranteed since neural networks still lack good mathematical interpretability at present. To alleviate the dependency on labeled data and explore insights into the denoising system, we proposed an unsupervised denoising method based on model-based deep learning, which combined domain knowledge and a data-driven method. We designed a network based on the modified iterative soft threshold algorithm (ISTA), which omitted the soft threshold to alleviate uncertainties introduced by empirically selected thresholds. In this network, we set the dictionary and code as trainable parameters. A loss function with a smooth penalty was designed to ensure that the network training can be implemented in an unsupervised manner. In the proposed method, we set the denoised result by f-x deconvolution as the input for our network, and the further denoised data can be obtained after each epoch of the training, which means that our method does not need the testing procedure. Experiments on synthetic and field seismic data demonstrate that our method exhibits competitive performance compared to the conventional, supervised, and unsupervised methods, including f-x deconvolution, curvelet, the Denoising Convolutional Neural Network (DnCNN), and the integration of neural network and Block-matching and 3-D filtering method (NN + BM3D).
