In recent years, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), as a deep learning algorithm, has been widely used in many fields such as computer vision and speech recognition. In the field of geological exploration, CNN has also made great progress. This paper reviews the latest research progress of CNN in the field of geological exploration, and focuses on the application of CNN in logging and seismic exploration. We first introduce the basic principles of CNN, then introduce the specific applications of CNN in logging and seismic exploration, and analyze the advantages and limitations of CNN with specific examples.
