A Comprehensive Horizon-Picking Method on Subbottom Profiles by Combining Envelope, Phase Attributes, and Texture Analysis
Abstract
We propose a new method that considers the envelope, phase attributes, and texture analysis of the subbottom profile to automatically obtain continuous and accurate horizon picking. This method overcomes the shortcomings of the traditional methods in envelope and phase automatic horizon picking in terms of accuracy and continuity, and in efficiency when it comes to manual picking. Under the constraint of the envelope threshold from the envelope image and the texture segmentation from the phase image, the accurate envelope horizons are picked from the envelope image. Through mean filtering and template enhancement, the fine phase horizons are picked from the phase image. Finally, by combining the two kinds of picked horizons, more continuous, accurate, and finer horizons are obtained. The proposed method was tested on a real data set.
