description Seismic waveform feature extraction is a critical task in seismic exploration, as it directly impacts reservoir prediction and geological interpretation. However, large-scale seismic data and nonlinear relationships between seismic signals and reservoir properties are challenging for traditional machine learning methods. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a novel framework combining Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) for seismic waveform feature extraction and analysis. The UMAP-CNN framework leverages the strengths of manifold learning and deep learning, enabling multi-scale feature extraction and dimensionality reduction while preserving both local and global data structures. The evaluation experiments, which considered runtime, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, embedding distribution maps, and other quantitative assessments, illustrated that the UMAP-CNN outperformed t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE), locally linear embedding (LLE) and isometric feature mapping (Isomap). A case study in the Ordos Basin further demonstrated that UMAP-CNN offers a high degree of accuracy in predicting coal seam thickness. Furthermore, our framework exhibited superior computational efficiency and robustness in handling large-scale datasets.
