Abstract

Structure analysis and quality enhancement of seismic data have many applications in structure interpretation, specification of seismic sequences with different reflection patterns, as well as finding the location of faults and discontinuities in seismic sections. In this paper, the authors analyse structure and geometric properties - a seismic attribute known as structure tensor - and its application in seismic data quality enhancement via anisotropic diffusion filtering.
