ABSTRACT:
Implementations of various technologies for a method for processing seismic data. In one implementation, the method includes (a) selecting a first trace from a first seismic data set and a second trace from a second seismic data set; (b) extracting one or more features of the same types from the first trace and the second trace; (c) matching the extracted features from the first trace with the extracted features from the second trace; and (d) calculating for a displacement field using one or more of the matching features of the first trace and the second trace.
