Abstract
3D Volume Image Processing is one of the components of Shell's Volume Interpretation Environment as presented by Hoogenboom et al. Its a im is to provide: • a library of 3D image process ing modules which, when applied to 3D seismic data, enhance or highlight events of interest such as edges or sub-volumes of similar character, • tools to detect and extract events of interest such as edges, surfaces, or bodies, from either raw seismic or se ismic attribute data sets • algorithms to measure attributes of these detected events (their length , curvature, area or volume etc.) or to measure attributes of the data covered by these events (amplitudes of horizons, average dip in a volume etc.) in order to calibrate the interpretation with well information or to make predictions based on models. 3D image processing embodies all processes within the volume interpretation environment that directly address the 3D seismic data.
