Abstract:
This application allows the processing and interpretation of single-channel seismic files (Sub-Bottom, Boomer and Sparker) in SEG-Y format. Its interface allows the application of different types of filters and corrections to the raw data, as well as images of the seismic section in order to improve geological visualization of the interpreter. The configurations of these filters can be manipulated, and the results after each filtering can be compared with the original data to determine the best parameters of the applied filter. The best results are stored so that additional filters can be applied over previous filterings in order to reinforce geophysical/geological features of interest. At the end, the images resulting from these various filterings can be alternately selected during horizon mapping in order to complement the interpretation of the seismic section. Finally, the mapped seismic reflectors, the images generated by the various filters and the position of the seismic sections can be exported in CSV, PNG and DXF files, respectively, for use in other software. This program, written in Python language, is available in the public domain through a GPL license.
