Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of earthquake passive source waveform inversion, and particularly relates to an earthquake passive source waveform inversion method based on geological information constraints. Background Technology
[0002] Seismic passive source imaging technology originated in the mid-20th century, initially used for seismic wave propagation research. With advancements in array observation techniques and inversion algorithms, the introduction of environmental noise imaging technology in the early 21st century significantly expanded its application scope. This method offers a wide range of data sources, high imaging resolution, requires no artificial seismic source, is low-cost, and highly applicable. It is suitable for seismically active areas and regions where artificial seismic sources are difficult to implement, and can simultaneously study structures from the surface to deep crust. With the widespread application of dense array methods and the gradual improvement in the accuracy of inversion methods, this method can achieve detailed characterization of subsurface structures, especially excelling in shallow geology and complex tectonic zones.
[0003] Seismic passive source imaging technology uses waveform data from seismic events or environmental noise acquired by seismic instruments. This data contains rich information about the Earth's interior. Simulation and inversion algorithms are used to compare the observed waveforms with seismic wave propagation models to infer information such as the velocity or density of the subsurface medium. Inversion methods based on seismic data include travel-time analysis, full waveform inversion, reflection wave inversion, sparse inversion, geometric inversion, machine learning inversion, and source inversion, among others. Waveform inversion methods, in particular, can utilize all the information of the waveform (including amplitude and phase) to infer subsurface medium parameters, thus capturing complex geological structures more accurately, improving the resolution of imaging results, and making them more suitable for research on deep Earth exploration. In recent years, due to the continuous improvement of computing power, this method has been widely applied in the field of deep Earth interior exploration and has achieved some results. However, the method itself is computationally expensive, easily affected by initial model and data noise, and prone to getting trapped in local minima, resulting in poor convergence and limited inversion accuracy. Meanwhile, passive source imaging single-method inversion is limited by the method itself, with its resolution decreasing with increasing depth and insufficient resolution for subsurface impedance interfaces. Consequently, the inversion results obtained based on this single method have poor correspondence with geological data. To overcome these limitations, it is urgent to explore an effective method to improve the accuracy of the inversion.
[0004] Several invention patents exist for waveform inversion methods based on seismic data. One existing full-waveform inversion method, based on seismic record integration, solves the problem of waveform inversion failing due to local extrema caused by the lack of low-frequency seismic data. Another existing full-waveform inversion method addresses the issue of multiple solutions in waveform inversion algorithms. A further existing full-waveform inversion method and system provides accurate full-waveform inversion even when low-frequency information from land data is lacking. Finally, a more accurate step-by-step initial model is provided, resulting in more reliable velocity and density inversion results, among other improvements.
[0005] The aforementioned methods, by improving the accuracy of the initial model and employing distributed inversion techniques, address situations where single methods are highly dependent on the initial model and where changes to the inversion calculation can easily lead to local minima and fail to provide a globally optimal solution. For passive source waveform inversion methods, the method's resolution decreases with increasing depth, and it also has certain shortcomings in interpreting and integrating with geological data. Therefore, a method that uses known geological data to establish a model constraining waveform inversion leverages the clear spatial structure and physical interpretability of the geological model. Compared to simple velocity inversion, this method achieves multi-parameter collaborative inversion, improving the lateral and longitudinal resolution of subsurface medium parameters and properties. This makes the inversion results more consistent with geological laws and more conducive to the interpretation and analysis of geological structures in complex regions. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the aforementioned shortcomings in existing technologies, this invention provides a seismic passive source waveform inversion method based on geological information constraints. This method overcomes the deficiency of depth resolution in existing inversion methods, obtains a velocity model that is more consistent with the geological model, and improves the interpretation accuracy of the inversion results.
[0007] To achieve the aforementioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is: a seismic passive source waveform inversion method based on geological information constraints, comprising:
[0008] Continuous seismic waveform data from various seismic stations within the study area were collected, and the continuous seismic waveform data were preprocessed to obtain the seismic data from each seismic station.
[0009] The seismic stations in the study area were paired up to obtain several sets of seismic station pairs;

[0011] Based on the measured cross-correlation waveform dataset, frequency band filtering is performed to obtain the passive source waveform inversion dataset;
[0012] Collect geological information about the study area and derive a geological model based on that information;
[0013] The gradient of the normalized geological model is cross-multiplied with the gradient of the normalized velocity model to be solved to obtain the geological information constraint vector.
[0014] The square of the geological information constraint vector is used as the geological constraint term;
[0015] Based on the passive source waveform inversion dataset and geological constraints, passive source waveform inversion is performed to solve the velocity model; the inversion is iterated until the termination condition is met to obtain the optimal velocity model, thus completing the seismic passive source waveform inversion.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention fully combines the advantages of passive source waveform inversion method in fine characterization of underground structure and constraint of prior geological information model. By incorporating prior geological information as a constraint into the passive source waveform imaging inversion process through normalized cross gradient constraint, a velocity model more consistent with the geological model is obtained. This effectively overcomes the shortcomings of existing inversion methods in terms of insufficient depth resolution, improves the geological interpretation accuracy of inversion results, and can provide important technical support for high-precision imaging of seismic dense arrays.

[0020] A3. Perform cross-correlation calculations on each group of seismic data segments to obtain several cross-correlation waveform data;
[0021] A4. Superimpose the cross-correlation waveform data with a signal-to-noise ratio greater than the signal-to-noise ratio threshold to obtain the cross-correlation waveform data of the current seismic station pair;
[0022] A5. Return to step A2 to obtain the cross-correlation waveform data of the next seismic station pair, until the cross-correlation waveform data of all seismic station pairs are obtained;
[0023] A6. Retain the cross-correlation waveform data of seismic station pairs with a signal-to-noise ratio greater than the signal-to-noise ratio threshold to obtain the measured cross-correlation waveform dataset.

[0025] Furthermore, obtaining the passive source waveform inversion dataset specifically involves: selecting different filtering windows for each cross-correlation waveform data in the measured cross-correlation waveform dataset to filter different frequency bands, thereby obtaining waveform data of different frequency bands corresponding to each cross-correlation waveform data;

[0027] The beneficial effect of the above-mentioned further scheme is that by performing frequency division filtering on the cross-correlation waveform data of the seismic station pairs, waveform datasets of different frequency bands of all seismic station pairs are obtained. The dataset obtained in this step is a passive source waveform inversion dataset.

[0057] Continuous seismic waveform data from various seismic stations within the study area were collected, and the continuous seismic waveform data were preprocessed to obtain the seismic data from each seismic station.
[0058] The seismic stations in the study area were paired up to obtain several sets of seismic station pairs;

[0060] Based on the measured cross-correlation waveform dataset, frequency band filtering is performed to obtain the passive source waveform inversion dataset;
[0061] Collect geological information about the study area and derive a geological model based on that information;
[0062] The gradient of the normalized geological model is cross-multiplied with the gradient of the normalized velocity model to be solved to obtain the geological information constraint vector.
[0063] The square of the geological information constraint vector is used as the geological constraint term;
[0064] Based on the passive source waveform inversion dataset and geological constraints, passive source waveform inversion is performed to solve the velocity model; the inversion is iterated until the termination condition is met to obtain the optimal velocity model, thus completing the seismic passive source waveform inversion.
[0065] The obtained measured cross-correlation waveform dataset is specifically as follows:
[0066] A1. Based on the seismic data from each seismic station, obtain the seismic data sets for each pair of seismic stations, and set the segment length and signal-to-noise ratio thresholds.
[0067] A2. Obtain the current seismic station pair and divide the seismic data group of the current seismic station pair according to the segment length to obtain several seismic data segment groups; the start and end times of two seismic data segments in the seismic data segment group are the same;
[0068] A3. Perform cross-correlation calculations on each group of seismic data segments to obtain several cross-correlation waveform data;
[0069] A4. Superimpose the cross-correlation waveform data with a signal-to-noise ratio greater than the signal-to-noise ratio threshold to obtain the cross-correlation waveform data of the current seismic station pair;
[0070] A5. Return to step A2 to obtain the cross-correlation waveform data of the next seismic station pair, until the cross-correlation waveform data of all seismic station pairs are obtained;
[0071] A6. Retain the cross-correlation waveform data of seismic station pairs with a signal-to-noise ratio greater than the signal-to-noise ratio threshold to obtain the measured cross-correlation waveform dataset.
[0072] The process of obtaining the passive source waveform inversion dataset is as follows: for each cross-correlation waveform data in the measured cross-correlation waveform dataset, different filter windows are selected to filter different frequency bands to obtain waveform data of different frequency bands corresponding to each cross-correlation waveform data;
[0073] By integrating waveform data from different frequency bands corresponding to all cross-correlation waveform data in the measured cross-correlation waveform dataset, a passive source waveform inversion dataset is obtained.
[0074] In this embodiment, obtaining passive source waveform inversion data requires five steps:
[0075] Step 1: Preprocessing of continuous seismic data from a single seismic station. Continuous seismic waveform data are collected from each seismic station within the study area. Preprocessing is performed on the individual seismic data, including downsampling, mean removal, linear trend removal, one-bit time-domain normalization, spectral whitening, and bandpass filtering, to obtain the individual seismic data.
[0076] Step 2: Pair up the seismic stations in the study area, select two seismic stations to form a pair, and pair up all the seismic stations in the area. Hereinafter, the paired seismic stations are referred to as seismic station pairs.
[0077] Step 3: Segment the seismic data corresponding to the seismic station pairs according to the set time intervals. Select the seismic waveform data of the seismic station pair and segment the seismic data of the two seismic stations according to the set time intervals (for example, if a seismic station's observation period is 10 days and the set time interval is 1 hour, then the seismic data of one seismic station will be segmented into 10 days × 24 hours / day = 240 segments). It is particularly important to ensure that the absolute start and end times of each seismic data segment are completely consistent (for example, if station 1 in the seismic station pair segments every hour starting from 00:00, then station 2 must also segment every hour starting from 00:00). Perform seismic data segmentation processing on all seismic station pairs.
[0078] Step 4: Obtaining the cross-correlation waveform data of seismic station pairs. The data from the seismic station pairs segmented in Step 3 are cross-correlated for seismic data within the same time period. (For example, after segmenting the data into 1-hour intervals, data within the same time period are selected for cross-correlation calculation for each seismic station pair, resulting in 240 cross-correlation waveform segments.) The cross-correlation waveforms obtained from each time period are then superimposed by selecting data with high signal-to-noise ratios. The superimposed data is the cross-correlation waveform data for that seismic station pair. The same cross-correlation and superposition calculations are performed on the seismic data of all seismic station pairs to obtain the cross-correlation waveform data for all seismic station pairs. Finally, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is calculated for all cross-correlation waveform data, and only the measured cross-correlation waveform data that meets the SNR requirements are retained. In the following formula, d is used as the SNR value. obs Represents the measured cross-correlation waveform data, where N is in the following formula. p The total number of measured cross-correlation waveform data to meet the signal-to-noise ratio requirements, This represents the p-th measured cross-correlation waveform data.
[0079] Step 5, frequency-division waveform acquisition (the frequency-division waveform data is the inversion data used for passive source waveform inversion). The main waveform component in the measured cross-correlation data obtained in Step 4 is a surface wave. Given the dispersion characteristics of surface waves (i.e., the propagation speed of surface waves in different frequency bands is different), different filter windows need to be selected to filter the measured cross-correlation waveform to obtain the frequency-division waveform data. In the following formula, N... c represents the number of selected filter windows, where c is the c-th filter window. The waveform data after filtering by the c-th filter window for the p-th measured cross-correlation waveform data. Figure 5 The waveforms of cross-correlation data from different seismic stations are shown after passing through a 10s to 20s filter window.
