Abstract

Abstract Seismic inversion methods based on traditional frameworks face fundamental challenges in accurately characterizing spatial structure and quantifying model reliability. Here, we introduce a next-generation approach, systematically evolving from a convolutional physics-informed neural network (PINN), to a Bayesian PINN (BPINN) with uncertainty modeling, and culminating in a Bayesian Physics-Informed Vision Transformer (BPI-ViT) architecture that enables structure-level uncertainty quantification. Consistent evaluation is performed on the Marmousi2 benchmark and validated on field-scale CO₂ EOR monitoring data. The BPI-ViT framework integrates structure-aware self-attention and Bayesian inference, effecting a transition from pixel-level optimization to structural collaboration. Empirical results reveal that BPI-ViT outperforms previous methods in target horizon recovery, fault and anomaly detection, spatial continuity, and uncertainty quantification. This study establishes a structural-intelligent paradigm, advancing seismic inversion beyond error minimization towards structure-aware, reliable, and cognitively informed modeling, and provides a foundation for future multi-physics and complex geological inversion applications.

We present a next-generation pathway that progresses from a convolutional Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) to a Bayesian PINN (BPINN) with uncertainty modeling, and culminates in a Bayesian Physics-Informed Vision Transformer (BPI-ViT) that enables structure-level uncertainty quantification. In our formulation, PINN “training data” are equation-domain samples used to minimize physical residuals—supporting physics-driven, data-agnostic generalization—while BPI-ViT integrates multi-layer self-attention and Bayesian inference to transition from pixel-level optimization to structure-aware collaboration. Consistent evaluation on the Marmousi2 benchmark and validation on field-scale CO₂ EOR monitoring data show that BPI-ViT outperforms prior methods in target-horizon recovery, fault and anomaly detection, spatial continuity, and uncertainty quantification, while maintaining physical consistency. These results establish a structural-intelligent paradigm that moves seismic inversion beyond error minimization toward structure-aware, reliable, and cognitively informed modeling, and provide a foundation for future multi-physics and complex-geology applications.

We present a next-generation pathway that progresses from a convolutional Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) to a Bayesian PINN (BPINN) with uncertainty modeling, and culminates in a Bayesian Physics-Informed Vision Transformer (BPI-ViT) that enables structure-level uncertainty quantification. In our formulation, PINN “training data” are equation-domain samples used to minimize physical residuals—supporting physics-driven, data-agnostic generalization—while BPI-ViT integrates multi-layer self-attention and Bayesian inference to transition from pixel-level optimization to structure-aware collaboration. Consistent evaluation on the Marmousi2 benchmark and validation on field-scale CO₂ EOR monitoring data show that BPI-ViT outperforms prior methods in target-horizon recovery, fault and anomaly detection, spatial continuity, and uncertainty quantification, while maintaining physical consistency. These results establish a structural-intelligent paradigm that moves seismic inversion beyond error minimization toward structure-aware, reliable, and cognitively informed modeling, and provide a foundation for future multi-physics and complex-geology applications.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"A Physics-aware Bayesian Vision Transformer for Seismic AVO Inversion: Towards an Embodied Structural Intelligence Framework with Structure-aware Uncertainty Modeling","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":3,"date":"2025-10-17 15:50:26","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-7097139/v3","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"researchsquare","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":true,"externalIdentity":"","sideBox":"","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"/submission","title":"Research Square","twitterHandle":"researchsquare","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":false,"editorialSystem":"","reportingPortfolio":"","inReviewEnabled":false,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}},{"code":2,"date":"2025-07-31 18:30:27","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-7097139/v2","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"researchsquare","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":true,"externalIdentity":"","sideBox":"","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"/submission","title":"Research Square","twitterHandle":"researchsquare","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":false,"editorialSystem":"","reportingPortfolio":"","inReviewEnabled":false,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}},{"code":1,"date":"2025-07-15 06:58:11","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-7097139/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"researchsquare","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":true,"externalIdentity":"","sideBox":"","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"/submission","title":"Research Square","twitterHandle":"researchsquare","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":false,"editorialSystem":"","reportingPortfolio":"","inReviewEnabled":false,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"4e50f21a-7cb8-425a-92c1-5ee68e685aaa","owner":[],"postedDate":"October 17th, 2025","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"posted","subjectAreas":[{"id":52457371,"name":"Earth and environmental sciences/Solid Earth sciences/Geophysics"},{"id":52457372,"name":"Earth and environmental sciences/Solid Earth sciences/Seismology"}],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2025-07-15T06:58:13+00:00","versionOfRecord":[],"versionCreatedAt":"2025-10-17 15:50:26","video":"","vorDoi":"","vorDoiUrl":"","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v3","identity":"rs-7097139","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-7097139","identity":"rs-7097139","version":["v3"]},"buildId":"XKTyCvWXoU3ODBz1xrDgd","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
