Aeromagnetic attitude compensation for uninhabited aircraft systems without high-altitude calibration patterns using hybrid recurrent neural networks

<jats:p> Since the 1950s, Tolles-Lawson-based aeromagnetic compensation methods have been used to separate an aircraft's magnetic signal from signal associated with ground geologic and cultural features. This is done by performing a high-altitude figure-of-merit (FOM) flight and fitting the band-pass-filtered magnetic data to determine compensation parameters. This paper describes a supervised hybrid recurrent neural network (HRNN) algorithm trained on low-altitude survey data to perform aeromagnetic compensation. The proposed HRNN attitude compensation method can be employed for aeromagnetic surveys where traditional FOM and compensation are not possible. It has particular relevance for surveying via uninhabited aircraft systems (UAS). Firstly, the HRNN was tested on data from a fixed-wing airplane survey, and the results were compared to hardware-based compensation results. The standard deviation of the difference between the two methods for magnetic attitude correction (MAC) was 0.1 nT for the training region and 0.4 nT for the application region, respectively. Secondly, a UAS FOM flight at the highest permitted altitude in Canada, 120 m above ground level, showed similar improvement ratios for software-based least squares (LS) and the proposed HRNN algorithm of 3.5 and 2.6, respectively. The percent change and deviation in differences in MACs from LS to HRNN was 0.0% and 0.9 nT across small-box loops and –2.7% and 0.4 nT across large-box loops. Finally, LS and the proposed HRNN algorithm were applied to a 50 m altitude UAS data set for which no FOM flight was possible. LS did not successfully model aircraft noise, whereas the HRNN demonstrated effective removal of the magnetic signal due to aircraft attitude variations. The modeled HRNN MAC had a standard deviation of 2.4 nT. </jats:p>

Toward high-fidelity imaging: Dynamic matching FWI and its applications

<jats:p> Full-waveform inversion (FWI) is firmly established within our industry as a powerful velocity model building tool. FWI carries significant theoretical advantages over conventional velocity model building methods such as refraction and reflection tomography. Specifically, by solving a nonlinear inverse problem through the wave equation, FWI is able to recover a broadband velocity model containing both high and low spatial wavenumbers, thus extending the approximation of residual moveout correction inherent in traditional velocity model building approaches. Moreover, FWI is capable of inverting information from the entire wavefield (i.e., early arrivals, reflections, refractions, and multiple energy) rather than from a subset as in conventional approaches (i.e., first break and primary reflections), thereby availing itself of more information to better constrain its model estimate. However, these theoretical benefits cannot be realized easily in practice because various complexities of real seismic data often conspire to violate algorithmic assumptions, leading to unsatisfactory results. Dynamic matching FWI (DMFWI) is a newly developed algorithm that solves an inversion problem that maximizes the cross correlation of two dynamically matched data sets — one recorded and the other synthetic. Dynamic matching of the two data sets de-emphasizes the amplitude impact, which allows the algorithm to focus on minimizing their kinematic differences rather than amplitude in the data-fitting process. The multichannel correlation makes the algorithm robust for data with low signal-to-noise ratio. Applications of DMFWI across different types of acquisition and geologic settings demonstrate that this novel FWI approach can resolve complex velocity errors and provide high-quality migrated images that exhibit a high degree of geologic plausibility. Additionally, reflectivity images can be obtained in a straightforward manner as natural byproducts through computation of the directional derivative of the inverted FWI velocity models. </jats:p>

Seismic Soundoff: The global water crisis and how to stop it

Andrew Geary

<jats:p> Paul Bauman discusses his Global Sustainability Lecture, “A strategy for improving rural water supply development in Sub-Saharan Africa.” He highlights how water impacts all 17 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. He outlines the impact of 2 billion people living with water stress and how it could reach more than 5 billion in the next 10 years. Bauman also shares why every geoscientist needs to be aware of this crisis, how it impacts their work, and what actions can address the issue. </jats:p>
