Automated design of a convolutional neural network with multi-scale filters for cost-efficient seismic data classification.

ABSTRACT: Geoscientists mainly identify subsurface geologic features using exploration-derived seismic data. Classification or segmentation of 2D/3D seismic images commonly relies on conventional deep learning methods for image recognition. However, complex reflections of seismic waves tend to form high-dimensional and multi-scale signals, making traditional convolutional neural networks (CNNs) computationally costly. Here we propose a highly efficient and resource-saving CNN architecture (SeismicPatchNet) with topological modules and multi-scale-feature fusion units for classifying seismic data, which was discovered by an automated data-driven search strategy. The storage volume of the architecture parameters (0.73?M) is only ~2.7 MB, ~0.5% of the well-known VGG-16 architecture. SeismicPatchNet predicts nearly 18 times faster than ResNet-50 and shows an overwhelming advantage in identifying Bottom Simulating Reflection (BSR), an indicator of marine gas-hydrate resources. Saliency mapping demonstrated that our architecture captured key features well. These results suggest the prospect of end-to-end interpretation of multiple seismic datasets at extremely low computational cost.

Project description:In this study, we developed a multi-scale Convolutional neural network based Automated hippocampal subfield Segmentation Toolbox (CAST) for automated segmentation of hippocampal subfields. Although training CAST required approximately three days on a single workstation with a high-quality GPU card, CAST can segment a new subject in less than 1 min even with GPU acceleration disabled, thus this method is more time efficient than current automated methods and manual segmentation. This toolbox is highly flexible with either a single modality or multiple modalities and can be easily set up to be trained with a researcher's unique data. A 3D multi-scale deep convolutional neural network is the key algorithm used in the toolbox. The main merit of multi-scale images is the capability to capture more global structural information from down-sampled images without dramatically increasing memory and computational burden. The original images capture more local information to refine the boundary between subfields. Residual learning is applied to alleviate the vanishing gradient problem and improve the performance with a deeper network. We applied CAST with the same settings on two datasets, one 7T dataset (the UMC dataset) with only the T2 image and one 3T dataset (the MNI dataset) with both T1 and T2 images available. The segmentation accuracy of both CAST and the state-of-the-art automated method ASHS, in terms of the dice similarity coefficient (DSC), were comparable. CAST significantly improved the reliability of segmenting small subfields, such as CA2, CA3, and the entorhinal cortex (ERC), in terms of the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Both ASHS and manual segmentation process some subfields (e.g. CA2 and ERC) with high DSC values but low ICC values, consequently increasing the difficulty of judging segmentation quality. CAST produces very consistent DSC and ICC values, with a maximal discrepancy of 0.01 (DSC-ICC) across all subfields. The pre-trained model, source code, and settings for the CAST toolbox are publicly available.
