Various kinds of noise will be produced during the process of ultrasonic logging in high temperature and high-pressure environment under oil wells, which is blurring the logging image. This paper presents a novel end-to-end denoising model (ULNet) based on CNN and feature attention to address this problem and remove the noise from ultrasonic logging images. Our method mainly includes feature attention, feature enhancement based on residual model and reconstruction for ultrasonic logging image. Feature enhancement based on a residual model integrates global and local features to increase the expressive ability of the denoising model. Feature attention is used to distinguish the channel feature weights, and effective for blind denoising of actual images. Kernel dilation and skip-connection is used to reduce the computational cost during training. The Noise mapping results are used to reconstruct a clean image. Comprehensive quantitative and qualitative evaluations of results for selected study datasets collected at six oil wells in China show that this model is a feasible and effective means for denoising ultrasonic logging images. Overall, ULNet shows potential for practical ultrasonic logging images denoising.INDEX TERMS Ultrasonic logging image denoising, CNN, feature attention, residual learning. I. INTRODUCTION
