Abstract
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, defining a segmentation algorithm for segmenting the volume data within the 3D scene, the segmentation algorithm comparing a pre-determined threshold to an attribute of a voxel of the plurality of voxels, defining a control parameter associated with the attribute for controlling the segmentation algorithm, adjusting the control parameter to guide the segmentation algorithm in segmenting the volume data set to generate a visualized geobody, and displaying the visualized geobody.
