SUMMARY The importance of low-frequency seismic data has been already recognized by geophysicists. However, there are still a number of obstacles that must be overcome for events recovery and noise suppression in low-frequency seismic data. The most difficult one is how to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at low frequencies. Desert seismic data are a kind of typical low-frequency seismic data. In desert seismic data, the energy of low-frequency noise (including surface wave and random noise) is strong, which largely reduces the SNR of desert seismic data. Moreover, the low-frequency noise is non-stationary and non-Gaussian. In addition, compared with seismic data in other regions, the spectrum overlaps between effective signals and noise is more serious in desert seismic data. These all bring enormous difficulties to the denoising of desert seismic data and subsequent exploration work including geological structure interpretation and forecast of reservoir fluid. In order to solve this technological issue, feed-forward denoising convolutional neural networks (DnCNNs) are introduced into desert seismic data denoising. The local perception and weight sharing of DnCNNs make it very suitable for signal processing. However, this network is initially used to suppress Gaussian white noise in noisy image. For the sake of making DnCNNs suitable for desert seismic data denoising, comprehensive corrections including network parameter optimization and adaptive noise set construction are made to DnCNNs. On the one hand, through the optimization of denoising parameters, the most suitable network parameters (convolution kernel、patch size and network depth) for desert seismic denoising are selected; on the other hand, based on the judgement of high-order statistic, the low-frequency noise of processed desert seismic data is used to construct the adaptive noise set, so as to achieve the adaptive and automatic noise reduction. Several synthetic and actual data examples with different levels of noise demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the adaptive DnCNNs in suppressing low-frequency noise and preserving effective signals.

Time-dependent amplitude and phase information of stacked seismic data are processed independently using complex trace analysis in order to facilitate interpretation by improving resolution and decreasing random noise. We represent seismic traces using their envelopes and instantaneous phases obtained by the Hilbert transform. The proposed method reduces the amplitudes of the low-frequency components of the envelope, while preserving the phase information. Several tests are performed in order to investigate the behavior of the present method for resolution improvement and noise suppression. Applications on both 1D and 2D synthetic data show that the method is capable of reducing the amplitudes and temporal widths of the side lobes of the input wavelets, and hence, the spectral bandwidth of the input seismic data is enhanced, resulting in an improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio. The bright-spot anomalies observed on the stacked sections become clearer because the output seismic traces have a simplified appearance allowing an easier data interpretation. We recommend applying this simple signal processing for signal enhancement prior to interpretation, especially for single channel and low-fold seismic data.

The electrical activity of the brain recorded by EEG which used to detect different types of diseases and disorders of the human brain. There is contained a large amount of random noise present during EEG recording, such as artifacts and baseline changes. These noises affect the low -frequency range of the EEG signal. These artifacts hiding some valuable information during analyzing of the EEG signal. In this paper we used the FIR filter for removing low -frequency noise(<1Hz) from the EEG signal. The performance is measured by calculating the SNR and the RMSE. We obtained RMSE average value from the test is 0.08 and the SNR value at frequency(<1Hz) is 0.0190.

Abstract The importance of seismic exploration has been recognized by geophysicists. At present, low-frequency noise usually exists in seismic exploration, especially in desert seismic records. This low-frequency noise shares the same frequency band with effective signals. This leads to the limitation or failure of traditional methods. In order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional denoising methods, we propose a novel desert seismic data denoising method based on a Wide Inference Network (WIN). The WIN aims to minimize the error between the prediction and target by residual learning during training, and it can obtain a set of optimal parameters, such as weights and biases. In this article, we construct a high-quality training set for a desert seismic record and this ensures the effective training of a WIN. In this way, each layer of the trained WIN can automatically extract a set of time–space characteristics without manual adjustment. These characteristics are transmitted layer by layer. Finally, they are utilized to extract effective signals. To verify the effectiveness of the WIN, we apply it to synthetic and real desert seismic records, respectively. In addition, we compare WIN with f – x deconvolution, variational mode decomposition (VMD) and shearlet transform. The results show that WIN has the best denoising performance in suppressing low-frequency noise and preserving effective signals.
