DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention generally described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] In order to facilitate those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical terms involved in the present application are briefly introduced below.

[0020] A station is a station that receives seismic wave signals from the earth's interior through sensors and converts physical vibrations into electrical signals; a station pair is a non-repetitive combination of all stations receiving seismic signals, with two stations forming a station pair; the correlation strength is a measure of the similarity of the waveforms of two seismic signals; the observed time difference is the time delay between the seismic waveforms received by the two stations.

[0021] After introducing the technical terms involved in this application, the technical solutions provided by this application are described in detail.

[0022] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a flow chart of an earthquake positioning method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises at least the following steps: Step S110: Acquire the target seismic signal, and determine each target station that receives the target seismic signal.

[0023] In this application, synthetic data is used to test the application effect of the earthquake location method in this application. First, Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a 300m×300m×300m three-dimensional monitoring network is set up, with a detector arranged in each of the eight corners to receive seismic event signals (i.e., target earthquake signals) with an isotropic uniform P wave velocity of 5 km / s. This layout is more common in actual mine microseismic monitoring. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, two seismic sources are set up at the same time: source S1 is located inside the detector array with coordinates of (240, 240, 200) m; source S2 is located outside the detector array, and the monitoring azimuth is greater than 180°, with coordinates of (500, 60, 400) m. The purpose of setting the seismic sources is to test the impact of the observation system on the earthquake location probability results.

[0024] Figure 4 The synthetic waveform of the microseismic event of the model is obtained by convolution of the source wavelet and the transmission coefficient sequence. The source wavelet adopts an exponentially decaying sine wave with a main frequency of 150 Hz, and the received waveform amplitude decays with the source distance. Therefore, the maximum amplitude of the seismic signal received by each detector is inconsistent, and the maximum amplitude value is 1.

[0025] In order to simulate the situation where there are multiple outliers in the first arrival picking data, high-intensity noise with a mean of 0 and a variance ranging from 0 to 1 is added to the noise-free waveform record, such as Figure 5 The synthetic microseismic waveform with high-intensity noise is shown in Figure 1. In this case, the microseismic signals on most geophones are seriously contaminated by noise, making the signals difficult to identify. After preprocessing, the denoised microseismic signals gradually appear, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 6 As shown, the difficulty of automatic picking at the first arrival is effectively reduced. Figure 7 The maximum position of the automatic first arrival picking curve is shown, and the Figure 6 The first arrival time of the microseismic signal on each geophone. It can be seen that except for the No. 1 geophone of the earthquake event E1 and the No. 3, 4, and 5 geophones of S2, the first arrival automatic picking results of other geophones are close to the theoretical first arrival time. Among them, the picking errors of the earthquake events E1 and E2 on each geophone show that the picking errors of the No. 1 and No. 7 geophones of the microseismic event MS1 and the No. 3, 4, and 5 geophones of MS2 are 0.142 s, 0.013 s, 0.089 s, 0.187 s, and 0.387 s, respectively. These are all abnormal values ​​with large picking errors in the first arrival picking results.

[0026] It should be noted that, in the present application, the earthquake event occurring at source S1 is E1. According to the magnitude of the earthquake, the earthquake event E1 is determined to be a microseismic event MS1. The earthquake signal generated by the earthquake event occurring at source S1 is R1.

[0027] Step S120: All target stations are combined in pairs without duplication to obtain station pairs, and based on the waveform amplitude of the target seismic signal and the time when the target seismic signal of each station pair is observed, the correlation strength and observed time difference of each station pair relative to the target seismic signal are determined.

[0028] Among them, determine whether the number of target stations is an even number. If not, perform elimination processing. The elimination processing can be judged based on the strength of the received target seismic signal, and the station with the weakest target seismic signal strength will be eliminated. It can also be based on the time when the target station receives the target seismic signal, and the station that takes the longest time to receive the target seismic signal will be eliminated.

[0029] Furthermore, all target stations are combined in pairs without duplication to obtain station pairs, and the target seismic signals received by all target stations are preprocessed by bandpass filtering.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, in step S120, based on the waveform amplitude of the target seismic signal and the observed time difference of the target seismic signal of each station pair, the correlation strength and the observed time difference of each station pair relative to the target seismic signal are determined, including: Based on the waveform amplitude of the target seismic signal and the time window length of the station pair, the relative cross-correlation coefficient of each station pair is obtained; Based on the relative mutual correlation coefficient of each station pair, determine the correlation strength of each station pair relative to the target seismic signal; Based on the observation time of the target seismic signal of each station pair, the observed time difference of each station pair is determined.

[0031] Furthermore, the relative correlation coefficient of each station pair can be obtained by the following formula:

[0032] In the formula, For station pairs and At the sampling point The mutual correlation coefficient at is the time window length for cross-correlation calculation, For earthquake At the sampling point The waveform amplitude at For earthquake At the sampling point The amplitude of the waveform at .

[0033] Furthermore, according to the absolute maximum value and position of the mutual correlation coefficient of the station pair, the correlation strength and observed time difference data of the corresponding station to the target seismic signal waveform are obtained, where The maximum value of The corresponding time is , then the correlation strength of the seismic signal waveform of the station pair is and the observed time difference It can be expressed as:

[0034]

[0035] In the formula, and Station pairs and When the earthquake signal is observed.

[0036] Step S130: Determine the probability distribution function of the equal time difference surface of each station pair based on the correlation strength of each station pair relative to the target seismic signal and the observed time difference.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, in step S130, based on the correlation strength of each station pair relative to the target seismic signal and the observed time difference, the probability distribution function of the equal time difference surface of each station pair is determined, including: Based on the observed time difference of each station pair and the hypocenter position of the target seismic signal, the residual of the observed time difference of each station pair and the hypocenter position is determined; Based on the correlation strength and residual of each station pair, the probability distribution function of the equal time difference surface of each station pair is determined; where the probability distribution function of the equal time difference surface is:

[0038] In the formula, The earthquake source location is The probability distribution function of the equal time difference surface, is the tolerance parameter, The time difference between the observed station pair and the earthquake source position is The residual at is the correlation strength of the seismic signal waveforms of the station pair.

[0039] Step S140: Determine the position of the target seismic signal based on the equitime surface probability distribution function of each station pair.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, in step S140, determining the position of the target seismic signal based on the equal time difference surface probability distribution function of each station pair includes: The probability distribution functions of the equal time difference surfaces of all station pairs are grouped; The probability distribution function of the equal time difference surface in each group is processed to obtain the probability distribution of target positioning imaging; Based on the target positioning imaging probability distribution, the location of the target earthquake is determined.

[0041] Among them, the probability distribution function of the equal time difference surface in each group is processed to obtain the target positioning imaging probability distribution, including: The probability distribution functions of the equal time difference surfaces in each group are added together to obtain the positioning imaging probability distribution of each group; The positioning and imaging probability distributions of each component are multiplied to obtain the target positioning and imaging probability distribution.

[0042] Wherein, based on the target positioning imaging probability distribution, determining the position of the target seismic signal includes: The target positioning imaging probability distribution is searched to determine the maximum value position of the target positioning imaging probability distribution; wherein the maximum value position of the target positioning imaging probability distribution is the position of the target seismic signal.

[0043] Specifically, firstly, the probability distribution functions of the equal time difference surfaces of all station pairs are reasonably grouped, for example, they can be grouped according to the relative positions between the station pairs, or according to the characteristics of the target seismic signals recorded by each station pair, or they can be grouped automatically using a machine learning algorithm; Secondly, the probability distribution functions of the equal time difference surfaces in each group are added together to obtain the positioning imaging probability part of each group, and the positioning imaging probability distribution of each component is multiplied to obtain the target positioning imaging probability distribution, where the target positioning imaging probability distribution expression is:

[0044]

[0045] in, For location The probability distribution of target positioning imaging at For all station pairs divided into Groups, For the Groups at location The probability distribution of positioning imaging at For the There are a total of The probability distribution function of the equal time difference surface of the station pairs is: For the In the group Station pairs at locations The probability distribution function of the equal time difference surface corresponding to the location; Then, the maximum position of the target positioning imaging probability distribution is searched to obtain the position of the target seismic signal, wherein randomized search methods such as simulated annealing, genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization and ant colony algorithm can be used to find the maximum position in the target positioning imaging probability distribution.

[0046] further, Figure 8 The location probability imaging results are added, multiplied and grouped and superimposed in the multiplied form. The distribution of the added location probability imaging results and the true source position can be seen, among which, Figure 8 The "cross" in the figure is the calculated source position in the YX plane, YZ plane and ZX plane, and the intersection of the dotted lines is the real source position in the YX plane, YZ plane and ZX plane. Due to the influence of multiple outliers, obvious and serious stripe artifacts appear in the stacked imaging results. Fig. 9 is the probability imaging positioning result in the multiplication form, where Fig. 9 The "cross" in the figure is the calculated location of the earthquake source in the YX plane, YZ plane and ZX plane, and the intersection of the dotted lines is the location of the real earthquake source in the YX plane, YZ plane and ZX plane. Fig. 9 It can be seen that the multiplication of the positioning probability imaging results in a large positioning error. Although the multiplication form successfully eliminates the superimposed fringe artifacts and improves the resolution of the probability imaging, the probability maximum value fails to concentrate on the true source position, which still leads to a large positioning error. Fig.10 is the probability imaging positioning result in the form of group addition and multiplication, where Fig.10 The "cross" in the figure is the calculated location of the earthquake source in the YX plane, YZ plane and ZX plane, and the intersection of the dotted lines is the location of the real earthquake source in the YX plane, YZ plane and ZX plane. Fig.10 It can be clearly seen that the group stacking and multiplication form not only successfully eliminates the stacking fringe artifacts and improves the imaging resolution, but also makes the maximum value of the positioning probability concentrated near the theoretical source position, and the positioning error is minimized. This is because the variable Gaussian probability distribution function has a slow attenuation effect on the first arrival time data with large picking errors, which can make the potential true source position obtain a relatively high probability value, so that the group stacking and multiplication form can obtain a stable positioning result with excellent imaging resolution and positioning accuracy.

[0047] It should be noted that Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The hypocenter location calculated in is the hypocenter location under Normalized probability.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, the method further comprises the following steps: Based on the reliability function, the accuracy of the location of the target seismic signal is determined.

[0049] The reliability function is:

[0050] In the formula, To ensure the accuracy of the positioning results, To meet the station and The residual difference between the observed time difference and the arrival time difference is less than the tolerance The number of station pairs, is a function, is the number of all station pairs.

[0051] further, is a symbolic function representing 1 if it is, 0 otherwise.

[0052] In order to ensure the accuracy of the location of the target seismic signal, the accuracy of the location of the target seismic signal is verified by a reliability function, where: The accuracy value varies between 0 and 1. The larger the value, the more accurate the positioning result.

[0053] like Fig.11 As shown, the microseismic monitoring network of a metal mine provided in the embodiment of the present application includes 41 single-component geophones arranged in tunnels at altitudes of 75 m, 35 m, and -5 m. According to the data recorded by the BSN system, 7 mining blasts were carried out in the mine area between March 26 and March 31, 2021. The relative positions of the blasting events and geophones are as follows: Fig.11 The inverted triangle in the figure is the detector, and the hexagon is the explosion event. Fig.12 The original waveform of the No. 3 blasting event and the automatically picked first arrival time show that the waveform consistency between the detectors is low. The velocity model of the mining area was determined by the exploration geologist to be a uniform P-wave velocity of 4908 m / s.

[0054] According to the suggestions of the on-site microseismic monitoring technicians and the actual location of the blasting event, the target area range of the positioning imaging is set to: -100 m to 700 m in the X direction, -100 m to 700 m in the Y direction, -200 m to 200 m in the Z direction, and the spatial step length is 10 m. According to the research area of ​​the mine, during the positioning process, the parameters in the probability distribution function Set to 0.005 s. By comparison Fig.13The positioning errors of the seven blasting events in different combinations are shown. It can be seen that the overall positioning error of the group superposition and multiplication form is the smallest, with an average positioning error of 24.53m and a minimum positioning error of only 8.3m. Specifically, although the No. 2 blasting event with the largest positioning error is 50.8m, this error is still much smaller than the positioning error of the addition and multiplication forms.

[0055] In order to compare the positioning probability imaging results of different probability distribution functions, the blasting events No. 6, No. 2, and No. 7 were selected in the order of blasting locations. Fig.14 The positioning probability imaging results in the additive form are shown. Due to the large number of detectors triggered by the blasting event, the positioning imaging probability distribution in the superposition form did not show obvious local probability maximum artifacts and topological structures, but there was a significant tailing phenomenon. From the positioning results of the No. 2 blasting event, it can be seen that since the azimuth angle of the detector in the XY plane is greater than 180° and the number of triggered detectors is relatively small, the positioning results have a large deviation in the XY plane. Although the multiplication form improves the convergence and resolution of positioning imaging, the positioning accuracy is still not significantly improved. Fig.15 However, the variable probability distribution function can obtain a higher probability value for the real blasting position by using the group superposition and multiplication form, and the error of the positioning result is the smallest, as shown in Fig.16 As shown, Fig.14 , Fig.15 and Fig.16 In the figure, the “cross” is the position of the calculated positioning result in the YX plane, YZ plane and ZX plane, and the intersection of the dotted lines is the position of the true source position in the YX plane, YZ plane and ZX plane.

[0056] These three probability distribution functions were used to locate 432 microseismic events measured in the mining area from March 30 to March 31, 2021. In order to ensure the quality of seismic event data, all events in the data set triggered more than 8 detectors. Through the above data preprocessing process, observation data such as the first arrival time and the corresponding signal-to-noise ratio of all microseismic events triggering the geophone were obtained. Due to the influence of the azimuth angle of some microseismic events relative to the triggered geophone greater than 180° and the arrival time data with large picking errors, the positioning results may be offset to the boundary of the target area. Therefore, the positioning results after excluding the microseismic events located at the boundary of the target area are defined as valid seismic events. Fig.17 The positioning results of adding fixed Gaussian distribution functions are shown; Fig.18 The positioning results of the addition and multiplication forms of fixed Gaussian distribution functions are shown, among which there are 338 and 279 effective earthquake events respectively. The source locations are relatively matched with the locations of blasting events and are distributed near the blasting locations, but the degree of aggregation is not high. Fig.19The variable Gaussian probability distribution function is displayed using the group superposition and multiplication form to obtain the positioning results, among which the number of effective earthquake events accounts for the highest proportion, 361 and 358 respectively; the matching degree between the source location and the blasting location is high, and the degree of aggregation is significantly higher than the positioning results of the addition and multiplication form. These results are helpful to further delineate the microseismic event aggregation area, evaluate the intensity of mine seismic activity, and provide certain guidance for on-site mining and safe production.

[0057] The reliability provided by this application is used to quantitatively calculate the positioning reliability of addition, multiplication, and group superposition and multiplication, and compared and analyzed with the positioning result travel time residual, such as Fig. 20 As shown. It can be seen that when the travel time residuals of most microseismic events are small, the reliability of the positioning results is high. The mean reliability of the positioning results of the variable Gaussian probability distribution function in the form of group superposition and multiplication is 0.7652, which is significantly higher than the addition and multiplication forms, indicating that more high-quality arrival time data are involved in the positioning of microseismic events. According to the positioning results of the method of the present invention, after removing the discrete data with large errors in the arrival time data, repositioning is performed, as shown in Fig.21 As shown in the figure, the relocated hypocenter locations are more concentrated, which is conducive to determining the intensity of seismic activity.

[0058] The earthquake location method provided by the present application has the following beneficial effects: 1. Through the correlation degree of waveform cross-correlation and the arrival time difference information corresponding to the maximum value of the cross-correlation coefficient of the station, when the waveform signal-to-noise ratio is high, the corresponding waveform correlation degree and arrival time difference accuracy are also high, and the width of the equal time difference surface is narrowed, showing a non-heavy-tailed distribution feature; when the signal-to-noise ratio is low, the corresponding waveform correlation degree and arrival time difference accuracy are also low, and the width of the equal time difference surface becomes wider, showing a heavy-tailed distribution feature, realizing the adaptive adjustment of the probability distribution function of the equal time difference surface, and automatically reducing the weight of low signal-to-noise ratio data in the objective function; 2.
