Abstract

In this abstract, we propose a multiscale fusion technique to enhance seismic geometric attributes, such as dip and curvature, which are very sensitive to noise present in seismic data. For a give seismic section, first, we construct a Gaussian pyramid that allows us to generate the seismic attribute at different resolutions (scales). Then, all attributes at the different scales are fused together to form the proposed multiscale enhanced attribute. Applications to the 3D seismic dataset over the Great South Basin in New Zealand demonstrate that the proposed method is capable of improving both the resolution and noise robustness of the first-order dip and the second-order curvature attributes, compared to existing methods and algorithm. Such improvement indicates the great potential of our multiscale fusion technique for enhancing the quality of more multitrace seismic attributes, such as coherence, flexure, and GLCM.
