Abstract
The attenuation of seismic field noise using self-supervised deep learning has gained attention due to its label-free training process. However, common self-supervised methods are limited by the pixelwise independence assumption, which does not align with field seismic noise characteristics, and suffer from signal leakage due to receptive fields containing inherent blind spots or traces. In this paper, we propose a self-supervised random noise attenuation method based on the non-pixelwise independence assumption. By considering the spatial correlation map of field noise, we extend the blind spot to a generalized blind neighborhood, ensuring that the prediction pixel is not influenced by neighboring pixels with noise correlation greater than zero. The blind neighborhood size controls how much spatial correlation is disrupted, allowing our method to handle random noise with varying spatial correlation. Since larger blind neighborhoods may lead to signal loss, we introduce an automatic trade-off between noise correlation disruption and signal preservation during training. Experiments on real seismic noise attenuation (including random and tracewise coherent noise) demonstrate the superiority of our method in destroying the spatial coherence of noise and preventing useful signal leakage.
