Filtering Approach

SUMMARY Low-frequency noise is one of the most common types of noise in seismic and microseismic data. Conventional approaches, such as the high-pass filtering method, utilize the low-frequency nature and distinguish between signal and noise based on their different frequency contents. However, conventional approaches are limited or even invalid when the signal and noise shares the same frequency band. Moreover, high-pass filtering method will suppress not only low-frequency noise but also low-frequency signal when they overlap in a same frequency band, which is extremely important in the inversion process for building the subsurface velocity model. To overcome the drawbacks of conventional high-pass filtering approach, we developed a novel method based on the mathematical morphology theorem to separate signal and noise using their differences in morphological scale. We extracted empirical relation between morphological scale and frequency band so that the mathematical morphology based approach can be conveniently used in low-frequency noise attenuation. The proposed method is termed as the mathematical morphological filtering (MMF) method. We compare the MMF approach with high-pass filtering and empirical mode decomposition (EMD) approaches using synthetic, reflection seismic and microseismic examples. The various examples demonstrate that the proposed MMF method can preserve more low-frequency signal than the high-pass filtering approach, and is more efficient and causes fewer artefacts than the EMD approach.

28 Hz geophones without a low‐cut filter provided a very similar amplitude (and phase) response to the 10 Hz geophones combined with a 25 Hz low‐cut filter. Combining 28 Hz geophones with a 15 or 20 Hz low‐cut filter would produce a record intermediate between Figure 4b and c. There is, however, a tradeoff between low‐frequency noise attenuation and the bandwidth of the seismic wavelet. Before stacking and deconvolution, the more severe low‐cut filtering produces dramatic noise reduction (Figure 4). After deconvolution and stacking, this improvement is much less dramatic. It was decided not to attenuate frequencies in the 10 to 25 Hz range too severely as this could decrease the signal bandwidth and provide a more “ringy,” if marginally cleaner, section.

Achieving broadband noise attenuation at low frequencies is still a significant challenge. Helmholtz resonators offer good low-frequency noise attenuation but are effective only over a narrow band; the cavity volume required at these frequencies is also larger. This article proposes a new broadband acoustic metamaterial (AMM) absorber, which uses polyurethane (PU) foam embedded with small-size resonators tuned to different frequencies. The AMM design is achieved in three phases: (1) develop a transfer-matrix-based one-dimensionalmodel for a resonator with intruded neck; (2) use this model to develop a novel band broadeningmethod, to select appropriate resonators tuned to different frequencies; and (3) construct a unit cell metamaterial embedded with an array of resonators into PU foam. A small-size resonator tuned to 415 Hz is modified, by varying the intrusion lengths of the neck, to achieve natural frequencies ranging from 210 to 415 Hz. Using the band broadening methodology, 1 unit cell metamaterial is constructed; its effectiveness is demonstrated by testing in an acoustic impedance tube. The broadband attenuation characteristics of the constructed unit cell metamaterial are shown to match well with the predicted results. To demonstrate further the effectiveness of the idea, a metamaterial is formed using 4 periodic unit cells and is tested in a twin room reverberation chamber. The transmission loss is shown to improve significantly, at low frequencies, due to the inclusion of the resonators.
