Zhang, Liang (author), Li, Guang (author), Chen, Huang (author), Tang, Jingtian (author), Yang, Guanci (author), Yu, Mingbiao (author), Hu, Yong (author), Xu, Jun (author), Sun, J. (author)Audio magnetotelluric (AMT) is commonly used in mineral resource exploration. However, the weak energy of AMT signals makes them susceptible to being overwhelmed by noise, leading to erroneous geophysical interpretations. In recent years, deep learning has been applied to AMT denoising and has shown better denoising performance compared to...journal article 2024
