High-precision detection of geological anomalies could be achieved through diffractions generated when seismic or electromagnetic wave propagates in subsurface discontinuities. However, capturing the diffracted portions of the full wavefield from acquired seismic or ground penetrating radar data is challenging due to strong interference and waveform blending. The aforementioned factors contribute to difficulty in deploying robust diffraction extraction and imaging in various data domains. To enhance the accuracy of diffraction separation and imaging, we build anew intricate mapping from full wavefield in dip-angle domain common image gather (Dip-ADCIG) to unique migrated diffractions with deep learning technique. By virtue of the encoder-decoder framework, characteristics of diffracted wave can be depicted. Self-attention computation in the improved backbone ensures the coincident fidelity between input and result. Apart from the utilization of optimally configured encoder panel, mode of feature maps concatenating is modified in decoder module so as to obtain the diffraction imaging of small-scale heterogeneities. Through a stable training with synthetic data for diverse designed geological models, the new workflow can provide a high standard depth-domain imaging of diffractions even with poor quality input gathers. Numerical data tests verify the high performance and validity of our proposed method.
