Abstract

An apparatus, a method, and a non-transitory computer readable medium for event detection of passive seismic data are disclosed. The apparatus includes processing circuitry extracts features from the passive seismic data based on a backbone subnetwork of a residual deep neural network. The processing circuitry generates bounding box proposals for a region of interest (ROI) in the passive seismic data based on the extracted features being input to a region proposal network of the residual deep neural network. The processing circuitry classifies the bounding box proposals into two groups. Each bounding box proposal in a first group indicates that a corresponding seismic signal presents in the ROI. Each bounding box proposal in a second group indicates that no seismic signal presents in the ROI. The processing circuitry determines at least one seismic signal in the ROI from the first group of bounding box proposals.

Claims (32)

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by a processor for event detection of passive seismic data, cause the processor to perform:

extracting features from the passive seismic data based on a backbone subnetwork of a residual deep neural network;

adjusting parameters of the backbone subnetwork based on the extracted features;

generating bounding box proposals for a region of interest (ROI) in the passive seismic data based on the extracted features being input to a region proposal network of the residual deep neural network;

classifying the bounding box proposals into two groups, each bounding box proposal in a first group indicating that a corresponding seismic signal presents in the ROI, each bounding box proposal in a second group indicating that no seismic signal presents in the ROI; and

determining at least one seismic signal in the ROI from the first group of bounding box proposals.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the stored instructions cause the processor to perform:

flipping each bounding box proposal in the first group in one of a horizontal direction or a vertical direction along with the respective bounding box proposal.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the stored instructions cause the processor to perform:

de-noising the at least one seismic signal based on an infinite impulse response (IIR) Wiener filter based de-noising method.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the stored instructions cause the processor to perform:

increasing a size of each bounding box proposal in the first group along a diagonal associated with a seismic signal detected inside the respective bounding box proposal, an aspect ratio of each bounding box proposal being kept as constant during the increasing the size of the respective bounding box proposal.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the stored instructions cause the processor to perform:

generating synthetic seismic data based on a Ricker wavelet;

training the residual deep neural network based on a portion of the synthetic seismic data; and

testing the residual deep neural network based on a remaining portion of the synthetic seismic data.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by a processor for event detection of passive seismic data, cause the processor to perform:

extracting features from the passive seismic data based on a backbone subnetwork of a residual deep neural network;

generating bounding box proposals for a region of interest (ROI) in the passive seismic data based on the extracted features being input to a region proposal network of the residual deep neural network;

classifying the bounding box proposals into two groups, each bounding box proposal in a first group indicating that a corresponding seismic signal presents in the ROI, each bounding box proposal in a second group indicating that no seismic signal presents in the ROI;
