Seismic Signal Denoising Based on Adaptive Wavelet Modulus Maximum Method

Seismic noise suppression plays an important role in seismic data processing and interpretation. Aiming at remedying the problem of low quality of seismic data acquired by a seismometer, a novel denoising method based on wavelet maximum modulus and an adaptive threshold is designed. This adaptive wavelet maximum modulus (ATWMM) seismic signal noise reduction method is using the opposite polarity of the Lipschitz index with seismic signal and noise to extract the seismic signal of original data. Setting adaptive thresholding function related to wavelet decomposition scale to solve the problem of effective signal losing on a small decomposition scale. The experimental results show that the ATWMM method can extract more seismic signal from the noisy seismic data. Using RMSE and SNR evaluation, the synthetic Ricker seismic dataset experimental results show that the indexes are 0.0502 and 20.1617 dB. Compared with the wavelet modulus maximum (WMM) method, it has a 25.7% reduction and 14.6% increase. The real-field seismic data came from the JZW51 seismic monitoring station in China experimental results indicate that the proposed ATWMM method is effective in seismic signal denoising with SNR above 30.1855 dB of approximately 15.8% enhancement compared with the WMM method, that has improvement for quality of seismic data.
