Conducting exploration of hidden bad geology can provide important geological information for urban planning and construction, evaluate the feasibility and risks of construction in specific areas, and ensure the safety of project site selection, design, and construction. With the advancement of urban modernization, the demand for subways and intercity railways is increasing, and higher requirements are also placed on exploration techniques and methods. It is difficult to carry out efficient and accurate exploration work in urban exploration restricted areas, such as highways, areas with dense buildings, and areas where major pipelines are laid. Traditional exploration methods often rely on drilling to obtain underground rock and soil information. In addition, geophysical exploration technology is also very important for the exploration of hidden bad geology, such as micro-seismic exploration, transient electromagnetic method, geological radar method, and high-density electrical method. However, there are strong electromagnetic interference, traffic noise interference, construction activities, and environmental noise in cities, which affect the accuracy of geophysical exploration methods to a certain extent. In addition, in areas with dense buildings such as highways, they are affected by site restrictions, and it is difficult for geophysical exploration technicians to arrange geophysical exploration lines and carry out geophysical exploration. Traditional vertical borehole geophysical exploration cannot be carried out due to site limitations.

[0059] S5. Processing of geophysical cross-hole CT raw data, including:
[0060] Extract the common shot point gathers; this step arranges the superimposed gathers of each common shot point in order according to the shot interval size, that is, data reorganization.
[0061] Extract the coordinates of the transmitting point and the receiving point; on the one hand, the hole inclination and azimuth measured in step 2 can better calibrate the spatial position of the borehole, and on the other hand, accurately complete the coordinate extraction of the transmitting point and the receiving point;
[0062] The coordinates of the transmitting point and the receiving point are extracted as follows:
[0063] Attach Figure 4 For example, here we will compare the coordinate extraction method of the traditional straight hole and the inclined hole involved in the present invention:
[0064] The depth of the launch hole is H 1 , the receiving hole depth is H 2 , the hole spacing is D, the transmitting hole slope is θ 1 , the receiving hole is inclined as θ 2 ;

[0071] The observation system is established as follows:
[0072] A plane coordinate system is established with the intersection of the launch hole and the ground as the origin, the straight line where the launch hole is located as the Z axis, and the straight line perpendicular to the launch hole as the X axis.
[0073] Point T on the launch aperture 1 ’ The coordinates should be: (0, H T1’ ), H T1’ Point T 1 ’ Distance from the orifice;
[0074] Then the point R on the receiving hole 1 ’ Coordinate (X R1’ , Z R1’ )for:

[0088] A neural network is used to pick the first arrival time;
[0089] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, an inclined borehole cross-hole seismic CT sample data set is established and divided into a training set and a test set in a ratio of 4:1. A U-net network structure is built for training with the aid of amplitude balance and apparent velocity constraints. The input end is the reorganized inclined borehole cross-hole seismic CT data, and the output end is the first arrival time. After the U-net network model training is completed, the measured data to be picked up for the first arrival is input into the U-net network model, so that the first arrival time can be obtained in a short time. The first arrival result is manually checked and the unreasonable first arrival is corrected. The corrected first arrival time and the extracted transmitting and receiving point coordinates together constitute the inversion file.
[0090] Establish initial velocity model;
[0091] like Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 1 , for the setting of the initial model, it is necessary to integrate the results of ray tracing by the minimum travel time algorithm, the borehole information and the tube wave detection results to complete the setting of the initial velocity model; the present invention adopts a multi-level grid partitioning modeling method, that is, a dense grid (0.2m×0.2m) is used for the possible abnormal area revealed by the original geological and geophysical data, and a normal grid (1m×1m) is used for the normal velocity area, so as to take into account both efficiency and accuracy. The schematic diagram of the grid partitioning is shown in the attached figure. Figure 6 .

[0093] Finally, the inclined borehole cross-hole seismic CT velocity profile is obtained as follows: Figure 8 In the figure, different colors represent the wave speeds at different positions, and the wave speed image spectrum has been shown in the figure.
[0094] S6. Delineate areas with unfavorable geology based on geophysical and geological information.
[0095] like Figure 7 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of field detection according to the above-mentioned inclined drilling cross-hole geophysical exploration method of the present invention. It should be noted that the movement of the transmitting point and the movement of the receiving point are performed alternately, that is, at the initial moment, the transmitting point transmits the detection signal at the initial position, and receives it at the corresponding receiving point. After the position of the transmitting point is moved according to the inclined drilling, the receiving point remains stationary and continues to receive at the original position, and then moves to the next receiving point to receive the detection signal.
[0096] The patent of this invention solves the problem of hidden poor geological exploration in restricted areas of urban exploration to a certain extent. Compared with traditional exploration methods, it significantly reduces exploration blind areas and realizes continuous detection of geophysical profiles. The borehole inclination measurement ensures the accuracy of the borehole position, the coordinate extraction of the transmitting point and the receiving point and the intelligent picking of the first arrival ensure the efficient and accurate processing of the inclined borehole cross-hole seismic CT data, and the multi-level grid division establishes the initial model to use the least squares method for inversion, and the initial model is continuously adjusted and optimized in combination with the ray trajectory during the inversion process, ensuring the efficiency and rationality of the conversion of geophysical data into results. Assisted by the borehole information and tube wave detection results, it can more accurately delineate the hidden poor geological areas and provide more complete exploration data for subsequent design and construction.
