ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for concurrently and interactively displaying a selected plurality of measurable properties of geophysical data to empirically derive the best combined presentation of the selected attribute properties for interpretation. The technique of the present invention allows the interpreter to more easily comprehend simultaneous variation of several geophysical data attributes and to relate the effects to a specific end result for the geophysical indicators of interest. In accordance with the method, the one or more geophysical attribute variables are quantified and then rasterized so that the data is represented as a gridded variable area display wherein color intensity of the grid units is some function of the instantaneous variable. The resulting data is then loaded into digital refresh memory of an image processing computer whereupon it us interactively mixed for analysis in accordance with operator selected colors and color intensity weighting.
