Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of geophysics and artificial intelligence technology, and particularly relates to a full waveform inversion method and device optimized based on deep learning. Background Art
[0002] In the field of geophysics, full waveform inversion (FWI) is an important seismic imaging technology that constructs an underground velocity model by minimizing the residuals of seismic data. The core of the FWI technology lies in solving the wave equation to simulate the propagation of seismic waves in the underground medium and comparing it with the actual observed data. Although FWI can provide high-resolution images of underground structures, its computational cost is high and time-consuming, especially when dealing with large-scale three-dimensional seismic data. Existing FWI methods mainly rely on iterative optimization algorithms, such as the gradient descent method, to update the underground velocity model. These methods need to calculate the sensitivity of the simulated wave field to the velocity model, that is, the gradient, which is usually achieved by solving the adjoint state equation. However, this method has the following disadvantages:
[0003] High computational cost: Solving the adjoint state equation requires a large amount of computational resources, especially when dealing with large-scale data sets, which limits the application scope of the FWI technology.
[0004] Slow convergence speed: Traditional FWI methods may require hundreds or even thousands of iterations to converge to a reasonable velocity model, which makes the entire inversion process time-consuming and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0034] Embodiment 1:
[0035] Refer to Figure 1 As shown, the full waveform inversion method optimized based on deep learning provided by this embodiment mainly includes the following steps:
[0036] 110. Input seismic data;
[0037] 120. Use a deep learning model to calculate the gradient during the full wave inversion process;
[0038] In this step, the deep learning model can quickly obtain an approximate gradient, avoiding the high computational cost of solving the forward and adjoint equations in each iteration of the traditional full-wave inversion process, significantly reducing the demand for computational resources, and improving computational efficiency. At the same time, the generalization ability of the deep learning model helps to improve the stability and reliability of the inversion. Using the prediction ability of the deep learning model can accelerate the convergence speed of the full-wave inversion. The deep learning model can directly provide an approximate value of the gradient, simplifying the iterative process of the full-wave inversion and reducing the storage requirements.
[0039] 130, output the full-waveform inversion result.
[0040] It can be seen that this method applies deep learning technology to full-waveform inversion. By using the deep learning model to approximately calculate the gradient in the full-waveform inversion process, it avoids the high computational cost of solving the adjoint state equation in traditional full-waveform inversion.
[0041] Specifically, full-waveform inversion is a seismic imaging method based on wave equation constraints. Its goal is to generate a high-resolution subsurface model by iteratively minimizing the mismatch between the simulated and observed seismograms. The formula is as follows:
[0042]
[0043] where J(m) is the objective function, which measures the difference between the simulated wavefield u and the observed wavefield; m is the medium parameter, t is the time, f(u,m,t) is the mismatch function, usually the square of the residual.
[0044] In equation solving, the adjoint state method is a commonly used method for calculating the gradient. The adjoint state method involves the definition of the adjoint wavefield, which satisfies the following differential equation:
[0045]
[0046] where is the adjoint wavefield, u is the forward wavefield, d is the observed data, is the Dirac function, is the source location.
[0047] The formula for the time-domain full-waveform inversion gradient operator based on the adjoint state method is:
[0048]
[0049] where is the gradient of the objective function with respect to the medium parameter, is the sensitivity of the wavefield to the medium parameter.
[0050] However, solving the adjoint state equation requires a large amount of computing resources, especially when dealing with large-scale data sets, which limits the application scope of the full-waveform inversion technology. For this reason, the embodiments of the present application use a deep learning model to calculate the gradient in the full-wave inversion process and directly predict the subsurface velocity model from seismic data. Specifically, using a deep learning model to calculate the gradient in the full-wave inversion process can be expressed as:
[0051]
[0052] Wherein, is the loss function L with respect to the medium parameter m gradient. is the parameter learned by the deep learning model and is used to approximate the gradient calculation. is the wave field u with respect to the medium parameter m sensitivity. u is the simulated wave field and d is the observed data.
[0053] Specifically, the parameter is obtained in the following way: the deep learning model takes seismic data as input and the subsurface velocity model corresponding to the seismic data as output, uses a loss function to measure the gap between the predicted subsurface velocity model and the true subsurface velocity model, adopts the gradient descent algorithm for backpropagation, calculates the gradient of the loss function with respect to the parameters of the deep learning model, and updates the parameters according to this gradient . Through multiple iterative trainings and continuous adjustments, the final parameter is obtained, so that the subsurface velocity model can be accurately predicted from seismic data. In this way, the deep learning model approximates the gradient through the learned parameter , providing a computationally efficient, robust, and adaptable FWI alternative, thus avoiding the high computational cost of solving the forward and adjoint equations each time in traditional FWI and improving the efficiency and accuracy of inversion.
[0054] In a preferred embodiment, the full-waveform inversion method optimized based on deep learning further includes the following steps:
[0055] 140. Compare the full-waveform inversion result with the result of the true subsurface velocity model.
[0056] Through this step, the accuracy of the full-waveform inversion method optimized based on deep learning in this embodiment can be judged.
[0057] Such as Figure 3As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, including a processor 111, a communication interface 112, a memory 113, and a communication bus 114. Among them, the processor 111, the communication interface 112, and the memory 113 complete mutual communication through the communication bus 114; the memory 113 is used to store computer programs; the processor 111 is used to implement the steps of the full waveform inversion method optimized based on deep learning provided in the above embodiment when executing the programs stored on the memory 113. As Figure 4 shown, it is the matlab program operation interface of the electronic device, including the input and output of seismic data and logging data, deep learning model training, FWI execution, and result display; among them, the blue circles in area A and area B are the true underground velocity model data, and the red stars are the FWI inversion data. Area A is a comparison chart of the traditional FWI inversion result and the true underground velocity model data, and area B is a comparison chart of the deep learning FWI inversion result using this method and the velocity model data. It can be seen that there is a certain deviation between the traditional FWI inversion result and the true underground velocity model data, while the deep learning FWI inversion result using this method fits well with the true underground velocity model data. Moreover, the inversion time is shortened to 1 / 5 of the original, greatly improving the inversion efficiency. Overall, the accuracy and efficiency of the inversion result are significantly improved.

[0061] An output module 530, configured to output the inversion result of the full waveform inversion.
[0062] The full waveform inversion target is to generate an underground velocity model by iteratively minimizing the mismatch between the simulated and observed seismograms. The formula for the full waveform inversion is:
[0063]
[0064] J(m) is the objective function, which measures the simulated wave field u and the difference between the observed wave fields; m is the medium parameter, t is the time, f(u,m,t) is the mismatch function, which is the square of the residual.
[0065] The method of using a deep learning model to calculate the gradient in the full-wave inversion process is as follows:
[0066]
[0067] where, is the loss function L with respect to the medium parameter m gradient; are the parameters learned by the deep learning model for approximating gradient calculation; is the simulated wavefield u with respect to the medium parameter m sensitivity; d is the observed data.
