Deep learning and data-driven approaches have shown great potential in scientific domains. The promise of data-driven techniques relies on the availability of a large volume of high-quality training datasets. Due to the high cost of obtaining data through expensive physical experiments, instruments, and simulations, data augmentation techniques for scientific applications have emerged as a new direction for obtaining scientific data recently. However, existing data augmentation techniques originating from computer vision, yield physically unacceptable data samples that are not helpful for the domain problems that we are interested in. In this paper, we develop new physics-informed data augmentation techniques based on convolutional neural networks. Specifically, our generative models leverage different physics knowledge (such as governing equations, observable perception, and physics phenomena) to improve the quality of the synthetic data. To validate the effectiveness of our data augmentation techniques, we apply them to solve a subsurface seismic full-waveform inversion using simulated CO$_2$ leakage data. Our interest is to invert for subsurface velocity models associated with very small CO$_2$ leakage. We validate the performance of our methods using comprehensive numerical tests. Via comparison and analysis, we show that data-driven seismic imaging can be significantly enhanced by using our physics-informed data augmentation techniques. Particularly, the imaging quality has been improved by 15% in test scenarios of general-sized leakage and 17% in small-sized leakage when using an augmented training set obtained with our techniques.

Seismic full-waveform inversion (FWI) is a nonlinear computational imaging technique that can provide detailed estimates of subsurface geophysical properties. Solving the FWI problem can be challenging due to its ill-posedness and high computational
cost. In this work, we develop a new hybrid computational approach to solve FWI that combines physics-based models with data-driven methodologies. In particular, we develop a data augmentation strategy that can not only improve the representativity of the training set but also incorporate important governing physics into the training process and therefore improve the inversion accuracy. To validate the performance, we apply our method to synthetic elastic seismic waveform data generated from a subsurface geologic model built on a carbon sequestration site at Kimberlina, California. We compare our physics-consistent data-driven inversion method to both purely physics-based and purely data-driven approaches and observe that our method yields higher accuracy and greater generalization ability.
Seismic full-waveform inversion (FWI), which uses iterative methods to estimate high-resolution subsurface models from seismograms, is a powerful imaging technique in exploration geophysics. In recent years, the computational cost of FWI has grown ex
ponentially due to the increasing size and resolution of seismic data. Moreover, it is a non-convex problem and can encounter local minima due to the limited accuracy of the initial velocity models or the absence of low frequencies in the measurements. To overcome these computational issues, we develop a multiscale data-driven FWI method based on fully convolutional networks (FCN). In preparing the training data, we first develop a real-time style transform method to create a large set of synthetic subsurface velocity models from natural images. We then develop two convolutional neural networks with encoder-decoder structure to reconstruct the low- and high-frequency components of the subsurface velocity models, separately. To validate the performance of our data-driven inversion method and the effectiveness of the synthesized training set, we compare it with conventional physics-based waveform inversion approaches using both synthetic and field data. These numerical results demonstrate that, once our model is fully trained, it can significantly reduce the computation time, and yield more accurate subsurface velocity models in comparison with conventional FWI.
We propose a new method to tackle the mapping challenge from time-series data to spatial image in the field of seismic exploration, i.e., reconstructing the velocity model directly from seismic data by deep neural networks (DNNs). The conventional wa
y of addressing this ill-posed inversion problem is through iterative algorithms, which suffer from poor nonlinear mapping and strong nonuniqueness. Other attempts may either import human intervention errors or underuse seismic data. The challenge for DNNs mainly lies in the weak spatial correspondence, the uncertain reflection-reception relationship between seismic data and velocity model, as well as the time-varying property of seismic data. To tackle these challenges, we propose end-to-end seismic inversion networks (SeisInvNets) with novel components to make the best use of all seismic data. Specifically, we start with every seismic trace and enhance it with its neighborhood information, its observation setup, and the global context of its corresponding seismic profile. From the enhanced seismic traces, the spatially aligned feature maps can be learned and further concatenated to reconstruct a velocity model. In general, we let every seismic trace contribute to the reconstruction of the whole velocity model by finding spatial correspondence. The proposed SeisInvNet consistently produces improvements over the baselines and achieves promising performance on our synthesized and proposed SeisInv data set according to various evaluation metrics. The inversion results are more consistent with the target from the aspects of velocity values, subsurface structures, and geological interfaces. Moreover, the mechanism and the generalization of the proposed method are discussed and verified. Nevertheless, the generalization of deep-learning-based inversion methods on real data is still challenging and considering physics may be one potential solution.
Acoustic- and elastic-waveform inversion is an important and widely used method to reconstruct subsurface velocity image. Waveform inversion is a typical non-linear and ill-posed inverse problem. Existing physics-driven computational methods for solv
ing waveform inversion suffer from the cycle skipping and local minima issues, and not to mention solving waveform inversion is computationally expensive. In recent years, data-driven methods become a promising way to solve the waveform inversion problem. However, most deep learning frameworks suffer from generalization and over-fitting issue. In this paper, we developed a real-time data-driven technique and we call it VelocityGAN, to accurately reconstruct subsurface velocities. Our VelocityGAN is built on a generative adversarial network (GAN) and trained end-to-end to learn a mapping function from the raw seismic waveform data to the velocity image. Different from other encoder-decoder based data-driven seismic waveform inversion approaches, our VelocityGAN learns regularization from data and further impose the regularization to the generator so that inversion accuracy is improved. We further develop a transfer learning strategy based on VelocityGAN to alleviate the generalization issue. A series of experiments are conducted on the synthetic seismic reflection data to evaluate the effectiveness, efficiency, and generalization of VelocityGAN. We not only compare it with existing physics-driven approaches and data-driven frameworks but also conduct several transfer learning experiments. The experiment results show that VelocityGAN achieves state-of-the-art performance among the baselines and can improve the generalization results to some extent.
Data assimilation for parameter and state estimation in subsurface transport problems remains a significant challenge due to the sparsity of measurements, the heterogeneity of porous media, and the high computational cost of forward numerical models.
We present a physics-informed deep neural networks (DNNs) machine learning method for estimating space-dependent hydraulic conductivity, hydraulic head, and concentration fields from sparse measurements. In this approach, we employ individual DNNs to approximate the unknown parameters (e.g., hydraulic conductivity) and states (e.g., hydraulic head and concentration) of a physical system, and jointly train these DNNs by minimizing the loss function that consists of the governing equations residuals in addition to the error with respect to measurement data. We apply this approach to assimilate conductivity, hydraulic head, and concentration measurements for joint inversion of the conductivity, hydraulic head, and concentration fields in a steady-state advection--dispersion problem. We study the accuracy of the physics-informed DNN approach with respect to data size, number of variables (conductivity and head versus conductivity, head, and concentration), DNNs size, and DNN initialization during training. We demonstrate that the physics-informed DNNs are significantly more accurate than standard data-driven DNNs when the training set consists of sparse data. We also show that the accuracy of parameter estimation increases as additional variables are inverted jointly.
