This model embeds an SE module within the U-Net encoder, which enhances feature responses related to microseismic event boundaries through adaptive re-scaling of channel features. Simultaneously, it employs a temporal signal dimension expansion method to convert one-dimensional waveforms into an input format suitable for two-dimensional convolutional networks, thereby enabling end-to-end detection of microseismic event start and end times. Validation results using rock uniaxial compression acoustic emission test data show that SEU-Net achieves an overall segmentation accuracy of 98.97% on the test set, representing an improvement of approximately 1 percentage point over U-Net. Under a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 5 dB, the proportions of samples with start and end point detection errors falling within the 0\u20135 range were 79.98% and 89.93%, respectively. Compared with EQTP, SEU-Net achieved an initial F1 score of 88.88% and an intersection-to-union ratio of 79.98%, which are higher than EQTP\u2019s 86.81% and 76.69%, respectively. The error distribution and various evaluation metrics indicate that SEU-Net can maintain high accuracy in event boundary detection even under noise interference. Three-dimensional source localization based on the detection results shows that the spatial distribution of sources corresponding to SEU-Net is more concentrated and consistent with the actual fracture evolution process of the test specimen. This method provides technical support for the automatic detection of microseismic signals and source localization in complex rock mass engineering environments with low signal-to-noise ratios.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0358562","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,18]],"date-time":"2026-09-18T17:24:23Z","timestamp":1789752263000},"page":"e0358562","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Research
