Seismic attributes computation with trigonometric polynomials

in: Proc. 22nd Gocad Meeting, Nancy, France, pages 20 p.

Abstract

Because of the difficulty of interpreting seismic data, geophysicists have used various filters called “seismic attributes” since the fifties. These seismic attributes can enhance quantitative and qualitative seismic characteristics, like unconformities, stratigraphy, lithology, gas accumulations... This paper proposes an original approach, based on seismic traces rebuilding with trigonometric polynomials, to compute two series of seismic attributes. The first one uses classical concepts of analytic signal to get instantaneous attributes like envelope, phase, frequency, and their derivatives. The second one computes correlation between close traces to get geometrical attributes like dip, normal, semblance.
