The Application of S‐transform Spectrum Decomposition Technique in Extraction of Weak Seismic Signals

Abstract

In processing of deep seismic reflection data, when the frequency band difference between the weak useful signal and noise both from the deep subsurface is very small and hard to distinguish, the usefulness of traditional method of filtering will be limited. To solve this problem, we apply different spectral decomposition methods respectively to experimental data and real data and compare the results from these methods. Our purpose is to find an effective way to protect weak signals during processing deep seismic reflection data. The spectral decomposition method is based on the discrete Fourier transform, which uses the signal frequency‐amplitude spectrum and other information to generate a high‐resolution seismic image. Typically, it is used to identify the lateral distribution of medium properties, solve spectrum changes within complex media and local phase instability and other issues, such as locating faults and small‐scale complex fractures. S‐transform as a new time‐frequency analysis method, which is a generalization of STFT developed by Stockwell in 1994, has the ability to automatically adjust the resolution. This method has been widely applied to exploration seismic, MT and other geophysical datasets in recent years. It has become one of the effective methods in noise suppressing during geophysical data processing. Comparing with conventional oil reflection seismic data, in order to probe deep structure, deep seismic reflection employs a large quantity of explosives, long observing systems, leading to a phenomenon that valid signals from the deep and noise are mixed together both in time domain and frequency domain. Considering these characteristics of deep reflection data, this paper combines spectral decomposition with S transform technology. First we design a simple pulse function experimental data to confirm the validity of the S transform method. Then we illustrate the effectiveness of spectral decomposition which is influenced by the choice of frequency analysis methods, especially the transform window function which determines the resolving power of the method. On this basis, S transform spectrum decomposition is applied to a single channel of deep reflection seismic data and the stacked profile, then the application results of traditional transform spectral decomposition and S transform spectral decomposition are compared. Comparison of single channel data shows that compared with traditional spectral decomposition, the S transform spectral decomposition method is able to automatically adjust the resolution, accurately calibrate frequency component of weak signals at different times in deep reflection seismic data. Application to stacked profile data shows that the results obtained by the S transform spectral decomposition and those from other spectral decomposition method are largely consistent, while the results of S transform spectral decomposition clearly depict the characteristics of low‐frequency details which are superimposed by noise in original stacked profile.

Application of Data Mining Technology in Public Welfare Sports Education in the Era of Artificial Intelligence

“…(4) Ordinal Variables. Ordinal variables are divided into discrete ordinal variables and continuous ordinal variables [26]. Since the number of states of each ordinal variable is not the same, it is usually necessary to direct the values of all variables to the area [0.1, 2.0]; the purpose is to make all variables have the same weight, which can be replaced by implementation, where…”

A seismic thin‐layer detection factor calculated by integrated S transform with non‐negative matrix factorization

“…The methods described above are mainly used to depict seismic thin-layer (Huang et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2014). In order to take advantage of various methods, Stockwell et al (1996) adopted S transform with both STFT and CWT, and the time-frequency resolution could be adjusted adaptively (Deng et al, 2015). However, the frequency band distribution by the S transform cannot be adapted to seismic data.…”
