Abstract

Summary

In this work we explore deep metric learning as a data-driven approach for segmentation of first-order stratigraphic units in 3D seismic, based on similarities in reflection patterns. We attempt to learn similarity in seismic reflection patterns from a set of general synthetic seismic classes defined in our modelling pipeline. We use synthetics to 1) avoid using manual labels, with their limitations and 2) by using synthetics rather than samples from a specific seismic survey in training, we hope to achieve a more generalizable model that can be applied on multiple surveys without the need for fine-tuning or retraining. Using the N-pair multiclass loss we train a 3D CNN to embed the input such that the distance between positive pairs sampled from the same synthetic class in the features space is minimized, while the distance to the negative pairs is maximized.

To introduce the positional context of each prediction we use a pseudo-RGT volume calculated from the unwrapped phase image in 3D of the input seismic, which is added as a weighted feature to the encoded feature vectors prior to clustering. Finally, the number of clusters must be determined before applying agglomerative clustering algorithm with Ward’s criterion and a connectivity constraint.
