3D Seismic Attribute Conditioning Using Multiscale Sheet-Enhancing Filtering

Seismic coherence attributes are valuable for identifying structural features, but they often face challenges due to significant background noise and non-feature-related stratigraphic discontinuities. To address this, it is necessary to apply attribute conditioning to the coherence to enhance the vi...

description Seismic coherence attributes are valuable for identifying structural features, but they often face challenges due to significant background noise and non-feature-related stratigraphic discontinuities. To address this, it is necessary to apply attribute conditioning to the coherence to enhance the visibility of these structures. The primary challenge of attribute conditioning lies in finding a concise structural representation that isolates only the true interpretive features while effectively removing noise and stratigraphic interference. In this study, we choose sheet-like structures as this concise structural representation, as faults are typically characterized by their thin and narrow profiles. Inspired by multiscale Hessian-based filtering (MHF) and its application on vascular structure detection, we propose a method called anisotropic multiscale Hessian-based sheet-enhancing filtering (AMHSF). This method is specifically designed to extract and magnify sheet-like structures from noisy coherence images, with a novel enhancement function distinct from those traditionally used in vascular enhancement. The effectiveness of our AMHSF is demonstrated through experiments on both synthetic and real datasets, showcasing its potential to improve the identification of structural features in coherence images.
