Segmenting 3D seismic data

Visualizing region growing in 3D voxel volumes relates to generating a 3D scene having a plurality of voxels for representing a volume data set of seismic data collected from the oilfield. A segmentation algorithm is defined for segmenting the volume data within the 3D scene, the segmentation algori...

More Information
Summary:Visualizing region growing in 3D voxel volumes relates to generating a 3D scene having a plurality of voxels for representing a volume data set of seismic data collected from the oilfield. A segmentation algorithm is defined for segmenting the volume data within the 3D scene, the segmentation algorithm compares a predetermined threshold to an attribute of a voxel of the plurality of voxels. A control parameter associated with the attribute for controlling the segmentation algorithm is defined which can be adjusted to guide the segmentation algorithm in segmenting the volume data set to generate a visualized geobody which can then be displayed.
