An efficient 2-D joint full-waveform inversion method for electromagnetic and seismic data in a layered medium background is developed. The joint inversion method based on the integral equation (IE) method is first proposed in this paper. In forward computation, the IE method is employed, which usually has smaller discretized computation domain and less cumulative error compared with the finite-difference method. In addition, fast Fourier transform is used to accelerate the convolution between Green's functions and induced sources due to the shift invariance property of the layered Green's functions in the horizontal direction. In the inversion model, the cross-gradient function is incorporated into the cost function of the separate inversion to enforce the structure similarity between electric conductivity and seismic-wave velocity. We use the improved variational Born iteration method and two different iteration strategies to minimize the cost function and reconstruct the contrasts. Several typical models in geophysical applications are used to validate our joint inversion method, and the numerical simulation results show that joint inversion can improve the inversion results when compared with those from the separate inversion.
Complex seismic data sets benefit from adaptive sparse transformation methods to improve resolution and fidelity. The data-driven tight frame (DDTF) is a fast dictionary learning method that can simplify the sparse representation process and efficiently update the compact frame. However, the DDTF-based method is computationally intensive and relatively ineffective in accurately characterizing high-dimensional data sets with weak features and high noise levels. A new adaptive patch-selection method based on a simple framework for the contrastive learning of visual representations (SimCLR) is designed to further accelerate and improve the dictionary training process in the DDTF. The variance of all of the available patches is first calculated; then, the cosine similarity between the patch with the maximum variance and the other patches is calculated. Finally, the patches with large similarities are used for the filter bank training process. This method can efficiently track seismic events. The efficacy of applying the trained filter bank for seismic data recovery is tested by using the Monte Carlo-DDTF and SimCLR-DDTF methods. The numerical results demonstrate that the SimCLR-DDTF method can intelligently select training patches with more effective information, greatly improve the training efficiency of the DDTF, and obtain high-quality denoising and interpolation results.

To deal with remaining noise in a single domain, a transformation domain hybrid technique that employs a processing step-based adaptive denoising scheme is proposed to identify and remove noise while preserving the target seismic signals for practical engineering applications. The adaptive algorithm uses a higher order statistic to stack the wavelet-based coefficients of the seismic signals in the preprocessing step. It then whitens the noise and recovers the processed signals in the wavelet coefficient environment without the need to choose an arbitrary threshold. Automatic thresholding is employed to identify the high-correlation signal and stack this signal using the higher order statistic. The complex block thresholding filter captures the features of the remaining mode elements by iteratively using the wavelet and curvelet basis functions in the curvelet domain in the postprocessing step, with the goal of removing the noise with disordered correlations in the rotational directions. Seismic records of karst topography and hidden sinkhole detections, which are used for the evaluation of foundation stability in constructional engineering, are analyzed to determine the signal-to-noise ratio and fidelity of this scheme. A comparison of the performances between different denoising methods in the single domain is presented using synthetic seismic waveforms that are contaminated with different types of noise to validate the efficiency of this hybrid denoising scheme. Processing field data demonstrates the effectiveness of this hybrid denoising scheme compared with electrical resistivity imaging.
