ABSTRACT:
The specification discloses a method and system wherein an operator interacts with an automatic data processing and display system to classify and sort subsurface reflective surfaces or segments in a multidimensional context. The technique utilizes a properly programmed general purpose digital computer in combination with a plurality of storage tube display screens. Seismic reflection data in the form of computer picked reflection segments, hereinafter referred to as seismic segment data, produced from previous computer processing steps is entered into the computer. Displays of the velocity, amplitude, dip and length of the segments in a space gate are then provided on the display screens. A data responsive surface having a network of conductive wires and a detecting stylus are utilized by the operator to operate upon the displayed segment data to classify primary segments and to define boundaries relative to each of the parameter displays. The computer sorts the data according to the defined boundaries and segments are displayed which meet the defined boundary conditions. Provision is made to enable easy alteration of the displayed segment parameters and designated boundaries.
