AbstractSeparation of diffracted from reflected events in seismic data is still challenging due to the relatively low amplitude of the diffracted wavefield compared to the reflected wavefield as well as the overlap in the kinematics of reflection and diffraction events. A workflow based on deep learning can be a simple and fast alternative, but using training data made by physics‐based modelling is expensive and lacks diversity in terms of noise, amplitude, frequency content and wavelet. This results in poor generalization beyond the training data without retraining and transfer learning. In this paper, we demonstrate successful applications of reflection–diffraction separation using a conventional U‐net architecture. The novelty of our approach is that we do not use synthetic data created from physics‐based modelling, but instead use only synthetic data built from basic geometric shapes. Our domain of application is the pre‐migration common‐offset domain where reflected events resemble local geology and the diffracted wavefield consists of downward convex hyperbolic diffraction patterns. Both patterns were randomly perturbed in many ways while maintaining their intrinsic features. This approach is inspired by the common practice of data augmentation in deep learning for machine vision applications. Since many of the standard data augmentation techniques lack a geophysical motivation, we have instead perturbed our synthetic training data in ways to make more sense from a signal processing perspective or given our ‘domain knowledge’ of the problem at hand. We did not have to retrain the network to show good results on the field data set. The large variety and diversity in examples enabled to trained neural networks to show encouraging results on synthetic and field data sets that were not used in training.
