First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer implemented method for processing data comprising:
- identifying one or more seed points in an input data volume, the input data volume including data representing a portion of an object;
utilizing an implicit surface velocity determination to identify at least one surface in the input data volume; and
one or more of outputting the at least one surface into an interactive visulation environment and storing the at least one surface in a storage device.

Abstract
One exemplary embodiment presents a unified approach in the form of an Interactive “Violation” (simultaneous visualization and simulation) Environment (IVE) designed to efficiently segment geologic features with high accuracy. The IVE unifies image structure analysis and implicit surface modeling as a surface-driven solution that assists analysts, such as geoscientists, in the segmentation and modeling of faults, channels, and other geobodies in 3-D data, such as 3-D seismic data.
