用生成对抗网络模拟河流沉积物,实现地质结构精准复现。

Towards geological inference with process-based and deep generative modeling, part 1: training on fluvial deposits

  • 用过程模型生成训练数据,驱动GAN学习河流沉积特征
  • 生成样本准确还原非平稳性和细节,无模式崩溃或记忆现象
  • 结合地层叠加定律验证生成质量,适合地质建模研究者

地下资源分布与物理性质变化密切相关。生成建模常用于预测这些性质并量化不确定性,但现有方法难以准确再现具有连续性的地质结构,尤其是河流沉积物。本研究探讨能否使用生成对抗网络(GAN)训练以过程为基础的模型所模拟的河流沉积物数据。消融实验表明,深度学习领域生成大尺寸2D图像的技术可直接应用于3D河流沉积物图像生成。训练过程稳定,生成样本能忠实再现沉积物的非平稳性与细节,未出现模式崩溃或单纯记忆训练数据的现象。利用过程模型生成训练数据,可引入除常规物理性质外的其他重要属性。我们通过沉积时间验证了生成样本是否遵守地层叠加定律,从而评估GAN性能。本工作支持此前观点:至少在针对特定地质结构时,GAN比普遍认知更具鲁棒性。其在更大3D图像和多模态数据上的表现仍待验证。探索深度生成模型如何融合地质原理如叠加定律,前景广阔。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The distribution of resources in the subsurface is deeply linked to the variations of its physical properties. Generative modeling has long been used to predict those physical properties while quantifying the associated uncertainty. But current approaches struggle to properly reproduce geological structures, and fluvial deposits in particular, because of their continuity. This study explores whether a generative adversarial network (GAN) - a type of deep-learning algorithm for generative modeling - can be trained to reproduce fluvial deposits simulated by a process-based model - a more expensive model that mimics geological processes. An ablation study shows that developments from the deep-learning community to generate large 2D images are directly transferable to 3D images of fluvial deposits. Training remains stable, and the generated samples reproduce the non-stationarity and details of the deposits without mode collapse or pure memorization of the training data. Using a process-based model to generate those training data allows us to include valuable properties other than the usual physical properties. We show how the deposition time let us monitor and validate the performance of a GAN by checking that its samples honor the law of superposition. Our work joins a series of previous studies suggesting that GANs are more robust that given credit for, at least for training datasets targeting specific geological structures. Whether this robustness transfers to larger 3D images and multimodal datasets remains to be seen. Exploring how deep generative models can leverage geological principles like the law of superposition shows a lot of promise.
