Xi-Net: Transformer Based Seismic Waveform Reconstructor
<|reference_start|>Xi-Net: Transformer Based Seismic Waveform Reconstructor: Missing/erroneous data is a major problem in today's world. Collected seismic data sometimes contain gaps due to multitude of reasons like interference and sensor malfunction. Gaps in seismic waveforms hamper further signal processing to gain valuable information. Plethora of techniques are used for data reconstruction in other domains like image, video, audio, but translation of those methods to address seismic waveforms demands adapting them to lengthy sequence inputs, which is practically complex. Even if that is accomplished, high computational costs and inefficiency would still persist in these predominantly convolution-based reconstruction models. In this paper, we present a transformer-based deep learning model, Xi-Net, which utilizes multi-faceted time and frequency domain inputs for accurate waveform reconstruction. Xi-Net converts the input waveform to frequency domain, employs separate encoders for time and frequency domains, and one decoder for getting reconstructed output waveform from the fused features. 1D shifted-window transformer blocks form the elementary units of all parts of the model. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first transformer-based deep learning model for seismic waveform reconstruction. We demonstrate this model's prowess by filling 0.5-1s random gaps in 120s waveforms, resembling the original waveform quite closely.
