ABSTRACT:
A method for associating each descendent picked point with a parent seed point is disclosed which is used in a computerized method of automatically picking horizons from a three dimensional volume of seismic data traces. Such association of each and every point to each of its descendent picked points is recorded in computer memory. The method further includes displaying a path from a descendent picked point back to a starting seed point which led to its selection as a picked point.
