A systematic evaluation methodology of deep learning on seismic facies classification
摘要
Deep learning (DL) has shown great promise for seismic facies classification (SFC). However, the absence of systematic evaluation frameworks currently hinders fair comparisons between models. Existing studies often use different data partitioning strategies, leading to inconsistent benchmarks and making it hard to identify the most effective approaches. This paper systematically evaluates eleven state-of-the-art DL models for SFC, including both traditional and lightweight architectures, 2D and 3D models, and also a foundation model. Using three public datasets, Parihaka, Penobscot, and Netherlands F3, we analyze the effects of data partitioning strategies, training data size, model complexity, and accuracy. Beyond assessing conventional Large Rectangular Prisms (LRP), we introduce two novel data partitioning strategies: Rectangular Prisms with Equally Distant Slices (RPEDS) and Equally Distant Slices (EDS). These strategies offer diverse global information, aiming to reduce overall annotation demands. Notably, EDS achieves accuracy comparable to or superior to LRP, while requiring up to 13
