Blended acquisition, which allows multiple sources almost simultaneously fired, has become an effective way for accelerating seismic data acquisition. In order to use conventional processing methods for imaging, deblending is necessary for this special acquisition. Convolutional neural network‐based deblending methods provide a novel end‐to‐end framework for source separation. We proposed a field‐data‐based augmentation method that uses shuffled deblending noise as the features to be learned and take the inaccurate labels as the output of the network. Synthetic data experiments show that a network trained on data set with the proposed data augmentation method has higher accuracy for deblending even if the labelled data are noisy. Besides, 2D discrete wavelet transform, which has the advantage of multiscale decomposition and dimensionality reduction, is introduced to accelerate the computation of the network. The data augmentation method for data set generation and the computational speedup method for network training/predicting are also applied to field data. The results from synthetic and field data all confirm the performance of our methods.
The source vessel noise is a very common noise type in offshore seismic surveys. The state‐of‐art deep learning‐based methods provide an end‐to‐end framework for seismic data denoising. The denoising performance of a pretrained network is, however, highly dependent on the completeness of the training set. When training a denoising network with only field data, especially for attenuating erratic noise, it is hard to obtain a noise‐free data as the training target for the network. Transfer learning, by combining the synthetic and field data, is an alternative solution for improving the generalization capabilities of the network, although being able to model such erratic noise represents also a challenge. Although the denoising results by traditional methods are not accurate enough for creating a complete training set, the features in residual noise by subtracting the denoised data from noisy data are enough for the network to learn. Considering the aforementioned factors, we develop a deep learning‐based workflow for the attenuation of the erratic source vessel noise from ocean bottom node 4C data. Instead of using denoising results directly, we use the conventional methods to extract noise and add them to the high signal‐to‐ratio region of the field data. The created noisy dataset is different from the original noisy data in noise regions; thus, the pretrained network can also be used for predicting the same original data. The denoising results of synthetic and field data all show that even the network is trained on a noisy labelled dataset, we still can obtain high signal‐to‐noise ratio denoising result. Besides, when compare with the results by filtering‐based methods, our proposed method can attenuate the vessel noise more effectively and preserve the near offsets reflections.
