Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is widely used in seismic data denoising due to its simplicity and effectiveness. However, traditional seismic denoising methods based on CNN ignore multi-scale features of seismic data in the wavelet domain. The lack of these features will decrease the accuracy of denoising results. To address this barrier, a seismic denoise method based on the wavelet-inspired invertible network with atrous convolutions spatial pyramid (WINNet_ACSP) is proposed. WINNet_ACSP follows the principle of lifting wavelet transform. The proposed method utilizes the redundant orthogonal wavelet transform to obtain frequency multi-scale information from noisy seismic data. Then predict update network (PUNet) extracts spatial multi-scale features of approximate and detailed parts. The sparse driven network (SDN) learns the complex multi-scale information and obtains sparse features. These sparse features are processed to eliminate random noise. Compared to standard convolution, the atrous convolutions spatial pyramid (ACSP) can extract more features. The redundant features are the key to ensure the precision of multi-scale information. Therefore, the introduction of ACSP in PUNet can guarantee the denoising effect of the network. WINNet_ASCP combines the characteristics of wavelet transform and neural network and has a high generalization. Besides, transfer learning is used to overcome the difficulty caused by the training sample size of seismic data. The training process includes pre-training and post-training. The former is trained to obtain the initial denoising network by natural image samples. The latter is trained with a small sample of seismic data to enhance stratigraphic continuity. Finally, the proposed method is tested with synthetic and field data. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively remove random noise and reduce the loss of detailed information in prestack seismic data. In the future, we will make further improvements on this basis and conduct experiments on 3D prestack data.
