Abstract
Improving the quality of microseismic recordings is a critical step in microseismic data processing. We introduce a wavelet-weighted online dictionary learning (WWODL) denoising strategy for noisy microseismic recordings. We develop an adaptive parameters estimation approach for tunable Q-factor wavelet transform, which provides accurate periodic and non-stationary subband information from microseismic data for online dictionary learning (ODL). A sliding time window is employed to divide the obtained subbands into a series of patches of equal length, which are then assembled into a matrix and fed into the ODL. The subband kurtosis information is weighted to the constraint function of the ODL, further enhancing the sparse coding ability for each subband. Shortening the oscillation duration, an improved ODL is developed with a faster convergence speed in calculating sparse coefficients. Our results confirm that the WWODL can suppress high-frequency, low-frequency, and shared-bandwidth noises and has a minimal impact on the first arrival. The time consumption and signal-to-noise ratio of the WWODL are average 1/8.675 and 56.82% higher than ODL, respectively.
