Time-Domain Electromagnetic Noise Suppression Using Multivariate Variational Mode Decomposition

Noise suppression is essential in time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) data processing and interpretation. TDEM data are typically in broadband signal, which makes it difficult to separate the signal in the whole frequency band. The conventional methods tend to process data trace by trace, ignoring th...

description Noise suppression is essential in time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) data processing and interpretation. TDEM data are typically in broadband signal, which makes it difficult to separate the signal in the whole frequency band. The conventional methods tend to process data trace by trace, ignoring the lateral continuity between channels. This paper proposes a workflow based on multivariate variational mode decomposition (MVMD) and multivariate detrended fluctuation analysis (MDFA) to deal with the noise in 2-D TDEM data. The proposed method initially employs MVMD to decompose TDEM signals into a series of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). Subsequently, MDFA is used to calculate the scaling exponent of each IMF, facilitating the selection of signal-dominant IMFs. Finally, the signal IMFs are summed up to reconstruct the TDEM signal. Both simulation and field results demonstrate that, by considering the lateral continuity of data across channels, the proposed method is more effective at noise removal than other single-channel data processing techniques.
