用深度生成模型从地表数据重建地下多种地质结构,提升勘探与风险评估的可靠性。

Synthetic Geology: Structural Geology Meets Deep Learning

  • 用模拟地球演化过程生成海量真实三维岩性模型,解决训练数据稀缺问题。
  • 基于地表地形和少量钻孔数据,可生成多个合理且差异化的地下结构方案。
  • 适合地质勘探、灾害评估及传统反演方法的智能正则化,提升结果可信度。

从稀疏或间接的地表观测重建地球前几公里地下结构与矿物组成,是矿物勘探、地质灾害评估与岩土工程中的长期难题。该问题本质上为不适定问题,传统地球物理反演常仅输出单一最可能模型,无法反映所有合理地质可能性。现代深度学习受限于缺乏大规模3D训练数据。本文提出“StructuralGeo”地质模拟引擎,通过模拟数亿年构造、岩浆与沉积过程,生成近乎无限的逼真三维岩性模型。利用该数据集,我们训练了基于3D注意力U-Net架构的无条件与条件生成流匹配模型。所获基础模型能从地表地形与稀疏钻孔数据中重构出多个合理的三维地质场景,包含层理、断层、褶皱与岩墙等结构。通过对相同观测样本多次采样,建立概率框架以估计地下特征的规模与范围。尽管输出真实性受限于训练数据对真实地质的拟合程度,但该模拟与生成式AI结合的方式,为概率建模、区域微调及传统反演流程中的AI正则化提供了灵活先验。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Reconstructing the structural geology and mineral composition of the first few kilometers of the Earth's subsurface from sparse or indirect surface observations remains a long-standing challenge with critical applications in mineral exploration, geohazard assessment, and geotechnical engineering. This inherently ill-posed problem is often addressed by classical geophysical inversion methods, which typically yield a single maximum-likelihood model that fails to capture the full range of plausible geology. The adoption of modern deep learning methods has been limited by the lack of large 3D training datasets. We address this gap with \textit{StructuralGeo}, a geological simulation engine that mimics eons of tectonic, magmatic, and sedimentary processes to generate a virtually limitless supply of realistic synthetic 3D lithological models. Using this dataset, we train both unconditional and conditional generative flow-matching models with a 3D attention U-Net architecture. The resulting foundation model can reconstruct multiple plausible 3D scenarios from surface topography and sparse borehole data, depicting structures such as layers, faults, folds, and dikes. By sampling many reconstructions from the same observations, we introduce a probabilistic framework for estimating the size and extent of subsurface features. While the realism of the output is bounded by the fidelity of the training data to true geology, this combination of simulation and generative AI functions offers a flexible prior for probabilistic modeling, regional fine-tuning, and use as an AI-based regularizer in traditional geophysical inversion workflows.
