Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of geophysical exploration, and particularly relates to a microtremor exploration seismic service system and a data processing method. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a core means of geophysical exploration, seismic exploration is widely used in oil and gas resource exploration, geological disaster assessment and underground structure imaging fields. Among them, microtremor exploration as a passive source seismic method, through the collection of Rayleigh wave or Love wave signals in the natural environmental noise, the shear wave velocity structure of the underground medium is inverted, which has the advantages of no artificial source, environmental friendly, suitable for densely populated urban areas and other significant advantages. In recent years, with the development of high-sensitivity seismic sensors and long-term continuous observation technology, microtremor exploration has shown higher and higher application value in shallow geological survey and engineering geological evaluation. However, this technology puts forward very high requirements for data quality, processing algorithm and system integration capability, especially in complex urban environment, how to effectively extract stable and reliable frequency dispersion characteristics from low signal-to-noise ratio continuous background vibration has become the key bottleneck restricting its precision and efficiency.
[0003] Among them, the data processing flow of microtremor exploration usually includes signal preprocessing, cross-correlation function calculation, frequency dispersion curve extraction and inversion modeling. The existing system mostly adopts discrete architecture, and the front-end acquisition device is only responsible for the original waveform record, and all data processing tasks are completed in the back-end workstation. This separation design causes that the data quality cannot be evaluated in real time on site, it is difficult to dynamically adjust the observation parameters, and the transmission and storage cost of massive raw data is high. At the same time, the traditional frequency dispersion curve extraction method relies on the Fourier transform or wavelet analysis with fixed window length, when facing non-stationary and non-Gaussian distributed urban environmental noise, it is easy to be affected by transient interference and coherent noise, causing the estimation deviation of phase velocity, and then reducing the spatial resolution and reliability of the inversion result.
[0004] There are three major defects in the prior art in the microtremor exploration system: first, there is lack of embedded processing capability for edge computing, which cannot complete key steps such as noise suppression, cross-correlation and time-frequency analysis locally at the acquisition node, resulting in system response lag and dependence on high-bandwidth communication link; second, the frequency dispersion feature extraction algorithm does not fully integrate the multi-channel spatial coherence and time stability constraints, making it difficult to achieve robust phase velocity estimation under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions; third, there is lack of closed-loop feedback mechanism between data processing flow and inversion model, which cannot automatically optimize subsequent acquisition strategy or reprocessing parameters according to the preliminary inversion result. The above problems are particularly prominent in the fine exploration of urban underground space, safety monitoring of major infrastructure and other application scenarios with strict requirements on timeliness and accuracy, which seriously restricts the large-scale deployment and intelligent upgrading of microtremor exploration technology.

[0024] Currently, seismic exploration, as a core means of geophysical exploration, is widely used in fields such as oil and gas resource exploration, geological hazard assessment, and subsurface structure imaging. Among these, micromotion exploration, as a passive source seismic method, inverts the shear wave velocity structure of the subsurface medium by acquiring Rayleigh or Love wave signals from natural environmental noise. It boasts significant advantages such as not requiring artificial seismic sources, being environmentally friendly, and suitable for densely populated urban areas. In recent years, with the development of high-sensitivity seismic sensors and long-term continuous observation technology, micromotion exploration has demonstrated increasingly high application value in shallow geological surveys and engineering geological evaluations. However, this technology places extremely high demands on data quality, processing algorithms, and system integration capabilities. Especially in complex urban environments, effectively extracting stable and reliable dispersion features from continuous background vibrations with low signal-to-noise ratios has become a key bottleneck restricting its accuracy and efficiency. To address these technical problems, this invention proposes a combination of distributed seismic sensor arrays and embedded processing capabilities to achieve high-quality acquisition and preliminary on-site processing of micromotion signals, significantly reducing data transmission and storage requirements. Improved cross-correlation function calculation and dispersion feature extraction algorithms effectively enhance the accuracy and stability of Rayleigh wave phase velocity estimation in low signal-to-noise ratio environments. The inversion method based on Bayesian inference and the quality feedback control mechanism form a closed-loop optimization workflow, enhancing the system's adaptability to complex urban environments and improving the resolution and reliability of underground velocity structure imaging. The cloud-based integrated service platform provides fully automated services, significantly improving the efficiency and user experience of micro-motion exploration, providing strong technical support for fine-grained exploration of urban underground space and infrastructure safety monitoring, and is applied to a seismic service system and data processing method for micro-motion exploration.
[0025] refer to Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the overall technical architecture of the seismic service system and data processing method for micro-motion exploration proposed in this invention clearly illustrates the complete data flow and control logic from the front-end distributed sensor network to the back-end cloud service platform. The entire system consists of a distributed seismic sensor array deployed in the target area, edge computing nodes, a wireless communication network, a cloud-based seismic service platform, and a user interaction terminal.
[0026] Step S1: Deploy a distributed seismic sensor array. At least 36 three-component broadband seismometers are deployed in the target exploration area according to a preset geometric pattern. Each seismometer has a built-in 24-bit analog-to-digital converter and a global positioning system synchronization module. The sampling rate is set to 100 Hz, the dynamic range is greater than 130 dB, and the time synchronization accuracy between nodes is better than 1 millisecond through a self-organizing wireless sensor network.
[0027] Specifically, in step S1, the distributed seismic sensor array adopts a hexagonal grid layout. This geometric configuration maximizes spatial coverage efficiency and ensures uniform wavefield sampling in all directions. The node spacing is dynamically adjusted according to the required detection depth. For shallow detection tasks, the node spacing is set to 10 to 50 meters; for medium-deep detection tasks, the node spacing is extended to 100 to 500 meters. Each sensor node is equipped with a solar power system to support long-term unattended operation and integrates a 4G or 5G wireless communication module for real-time transmission of key status information (such as battery voltage, storage capacity, and temperature) and processed compressed data, while also receiving remote commands from the cloud platform. The sensor nodes integrate embedded processors, enabling them to perform local data preprocessing and preliminary analysis, thereby reducing the amount of raw data by more than 90% and greatly alleviating communication bandwidth pressure.
[0028] Step S2: Collect continuous micro-motion signals and continuously record environmental vibration data for at least 30 days through a distributed seismic sensor array. Data storage adopts a circular buffer mechanism, generating an independent data file every 24 hours in the international standard mini-seed format. At the same time, monitor the battery status and storage space utilization of each node in real time.
[0029] Specifically, in step S2, the continuous data acquisition process is autonomously managed by the embedded system of each node. A circular buffer mechanism ensures that, given limited storage space, the system prioritizes retaining the latest valid data segments. At the end of a single 24-hour cycle, the system automatically packages the data in the buffer into a mini-seed format file conforming to international standards. This format contains complete metadata information, such as sampling rate, channel gain, geographical location, and timestamp. Simultaneously, the nodes continuously monitor their own health status. Once the battery level drops below 20% or storage space occupancy exceeds 90%, an alarm is immediately sent to the cloud platform via wireless link, allowing maintenance personnel to intervene promptly.
[0030] Step S3: Preprocess the raw waveform data. The acquired continuous micro-motion signals are subjected to mean removal, trend removal and instrument response correction in sequence. A fourth-order Butterworth bandpass filter is used to retain the effective frequency band from 0.1 Hz to 20 Hz, and abnormal data segments containing obvious human interference or instrument malfunctions are automatically detected and removed.
[0031] Specifically, in step S3, the preprocessing process first removes the DC offset of the signal (mean removal), and then uses linear or polynomial fitting to eliminate long-term drift trends (desalination). Subsequently, the data is deconvolved using a pre-calibrated instrument response function to convert the recorded voltage signal into actual ground motion velocity or acceleration. A fourth-order Butterworth filter is used in the bandpass filtering stage; its steep roll-off effectively suppresses out-of-band high-frequency electronic noise and low-frequency drift interference. Furthermore, the preprocessing also includes using independent component analysis (ICA) to separate noise components from different sources, establishing a feature template library for major interference sources such as traffic vibration, industrial machinery vibration, and wind-induced ground vibration, and achieving targeted noise suppression through template matching, resulting in a signal-to-noise ratio improvement of more than 10 dB. Automatic detection of abnormal data segments is based on multi-dimensional threshold judgment, including indicators such as sudden changes in signal amplitude, abnormal spectral energy distribution, and a sharp drop in correlation with other neighboring nodes. Data segments marked as abnormal are either zeroed out or discarded directly and do not participate in subsequent processing.
[0032] Step S4: Calculate the cross-correlation function. Extract a continuous data segment of length 1 hour from the preprocessed continuous data. Calculate the cross-correlation function for the vertical component records of any two sensor nodes. Use time-domain normalization to suppress the influence of non-stationary noise and obtain the empirical Green's function estimate between all sensor pairs.
[0033] Specifically, in step S4, the system slides and extracts multiple 1-hour data windows from the continuous records. For any two nodes i and j in the array, the time series of their vertical components is extracted. and Calculate its cross-correlation function as follows: To suppress the influence of non-stationary noise, time-domain normalization is employed. This involves first standardizing each 1-hour data segment using a sliding window, followed by cross-correlation calculations. In step S4, the cross-correlation function calculation uses an improved algorithm based on phase-weighted superposition. By applying phase-consistency weighting to the cross-correlation results of multiple 1-hour data segments, weak signal components are enhanced. The weighting factor is proportional to the signal coherence, effectively reducing the signal-to-noise ratio threshold to -15 dB. This weighting strategy significantly improves the ability to extract weak Green's function signals against strong noise backgrounds.
[0034] The aforementioned seismic service system and data processing method for micro-motion exploration further includes a spatial coherence analysis step inserted between steps S4 and S5. This step calculates the spatial coherence coefficients of all sensor pairs in multiple frequency bands, constructs a frequency-dependent coherence matrix, identifies the dominant propagation direction through eigenvalue decomposition, and optimizes the weighting strategy of the cross-correlation function based on this.
[0035] Specifically, this spatial coherence analysis step divides the effective frequency band, ranging from 0.1 Hz to 20 Hz, into several sub-bands, for example, with a step size of 1 Hz. Within each sub-band, the coherence coefficient γ(f) between all sensor pairs is calculated, and a... The coherence matrix C(f) is given, where N is the total number of sensors. Eigenvalue decomposition is performed on this matrix; the eigenvector corresponding to the largest eigenvalue indicates the dominant propagation direction of the noise field at that frequency. Based on this, the system dynamically adjusts the weighting strategy of the cross-correlation function, assigning higher weights to signals propagating along the dominant direction, thereby further improving the signal-to-noise ratio and directional selectivity of dispersion feature extraction.
[0036] Step S5: Extract dispersion features, perform time-frequency analysis on the cross-correlation function, calculate the Rayleigh wave phase velocity dispersion curve using the multiple window spectrum estimation method with a frequency resolution of 0.01 Hz, automatically identify the dispersion energy of the fundamental mode in the frequency range of 0.5 Hz to 10 Hz, and enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of the dispersion curve by group velocity filtering.
[0037] Specifically, in step S5, a time-frequency transform is performed on the weighted and optimized cross-correlation function. The dispersion feature extraction in step S5 employs a time-frequency domain phase-matched tracking technique. By constructing a redundant Gabor dictionary to sparsely represent the signal, the optimal time-frequency atom is adaptively selected to match the Rayleigh wave dispersion mode, achieving a frequency estimation accuracy better than 0.005 and a phase velocity estimation standard deviation less than 0.02. This technique, by searching for the atom combination that best matches the theoretical Rayleigh wave dispersion mode on the time-frequency plane, can accurately track the instantaneous frequency of non-stationary signals, effectively overcoming the limitations of traditional Fourier transform in processing short-time, non-stationary signals. The automatic identification algorithm, based on energy concentration and phase continuity criteria, locks the energy ridge of the fundamental mode within the range of 0.5 Hz to 10 Hz. Subsequently, a group velocity filter is applied along this ridge to focus energy, suppressing sidelobe interference, and finally outputting a high signal-to-noise ratio phase velocity-frequency relationship curve.
[0038] Step S6: Construct a three-dimensional velocity model. Based on the extracted dispersion curves, use a Markov chain Monte Carlo inversion algorithm based on Bayesian inference to reconstruct the underground shear wave velocity structure. The inversion parameters include layer thickness, layer velocity, and layer density. The prior constraints are derived from regional geological data and borehole data.
[0039] Specifically, in step S6, the inversion process is conducted within a probabilistic framework. The system's likelihood function is defined as the sum of squared residuals between the observed dispersion curve and the dispersion curve calculated by the model forward modeling. The prior probability distribution integrates stratigraphic information provided by the regional geological map and lithology-velocity relationships revealed by nearby boreholes. The three-dimensional velocity model construction in step S6 adopts a layered medium assumption, with the initial model layer count set to 8 to 15 layers, and the thickness of each layer increasing with depth. An adaptive sampling strategy is employed during the inversion process, with a Markov chain length of 10,000 iterations, a burning period of 2,000 iterations, and a convergence criterion of a Gelman-Rubin statistic less than 1.1. Through MCMC sampling, the algorithm can explore the model parameter space and ultimately obtain the posterior probability distribution, providing not only the optimal model but also quantifying the uncertainty of the model parameters. Furthermore, the inversion process in step S6 introduces lateral constraints, incorporating prior information from adjacent measuring points into the inversion objective function through Kriging interpolation, smoothing lateral velocity variations, reducing the ambiguity of the inversion results, and making it particularly suitable for fine imaging of complex geological structures. (Reference) Figure 2 The figure illustrates the core principle framework of Markov chain Monte Carlo inversion and quality feedback control closed-loop optimization based on Bayesian inference, clearly demonstrating the interaction between prior information, observation data, posterior model, and uncertainty assessment.
[0040] Step S7 implements quality feedback control, which evaluates the quality of dispersion curve extraction and uncertainty of inversion results in real time. When the quality index is lower than the preset threshold, the data acquisition parameters are automatically adjusted or supplementary observations of specific nodes are triggered to form a closed-loop optimization workflow.
[0041] Specifically, in step S7, the quality feedback control system, based on a comprehensive evaluation of multiple quality indicators, including the continuity index of the dispersion curve, the distribution of inversion residuals, and the width of the posterior probability interval of model parameters, automatically generates optimization suggestions when any quality indicator exceeds a preset threshold. These suggestions may include adjusting the observation duration, modifying filter parameters, or adding sensor pairs in specific directions. For example, if the dispersion curve of a certain area shows a break in the high-frequency band, the system may instruct an extension of the data acquisition time for that area; if the inversion results show that the velocity uncertainty of a certain layer is too large, it may suggest densifying the deployment of temporary sensor nodes in that area. This closed-loop mechanism enables the entire exploration process to have adaptive and self-optimizing capabilities.
[0042] To further illustrate the technical effects of this invention, a specific application example is presented. In a geological safety monitoring task along a subway tunnel in a certain city, 49 sensor nodes were deployed using a hexagonal grid with a node spacing of 30 meters, aiming to detect weak interlayers within a depth of 50 meters. The system ran continuously for 35 days, collecting massive amounts of environmental vibration data. Using the method of this invention, edge nodes completed preliminary preprocessing and noise suppression, compressing the original data volume by 92%. After receiving the processed data, the cloud platform performed cross-correlation calculations, spatial coherence analysis, and dispersion feature extraction. Thanks to phase-weighted superposition and time-frequency domain phase-matching tracking technology, even under extremely low traffic noise conditions at night, the system successfully extracted stable dispersion curves in the range of 0.8 Hz to 8 Hz.
[0043] Subsequently, based on the Bayesian MCMC inversion algorithm and incorporating prior information from three nearby boreholes, a high-resolution three-dimensional shear wave velocity model was constructed. The quality feedback system detected slightly higher uncertainty in the model in the region directly above the tunnel, triggering a three-day supplementary observation period, which ultimately reduced the velocity model uncertainty in that area by 40%. The entire data processing was completed within 40 hours, far faster than the three weeks required by traditional methods, providing timely and reliable data support for engineering decisions.
[0044] Furthermore, this invention includes establishing a micro-motion exploration database to store all acquired raw data, intermediate processing results, and the final inversion model. The database adopts a time-series database architecture, supports multi-dimensional data retrieval and visualization, and provides data services to third-party analysis tools through an application programming interface (API). The method is integrated into a cloud-based seismic service platform, providing fully automated services from data acquisition and processing to result display. Users can configure exploration parameters, monitor processing progress, and download analysis reports through a web interface. The processing time for a single exploration data session is reduced from several weeks using traditional methods to less than 48 hours. This combination of database and cloud platform not only ensures the security and traceability of data assets but also lays a solid foundation for subsequent long-term monitoring and big data analysis.
[0045] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
