A system for seismic data processing

This work describes an unsupervised method to extract 2D and 3D inner earth structures from seismic reflection measurements m order to support an expert, interpreting the data. The problem is solved with a general texture segmentation approach, which first extracts characteristic patterns for seismic events (feature extraction stage, described in Section 2) and then groups data elements with similar patterns to geologic structures (segmentation stage. Section 3). The segmented 3D structure can then be visualised with standard interactive tools to get an idea of the 3D shape. Experimental results on both, real and synthetic data and conclusions are presented in Section 4 and Section 5.
