Abstract

En 中文

The eigenstructure-based coherence algorithms are robust to noise and able to produce enhanced coherence images. However, the original eigenstructure coherence algorithm does not implement dip scanning; therefore, it produces less satisfactory results in areas with strong structural dips. The supertrace technique also improves the coherence algorithms' robustness by concatenating multiple seismic traces to form a supertrace. In addition, the supertrace data cube preserves the structural-dip information that is contained in the original seismic data cube; thus, dip scanning can be performed effectively using a number of adjacent supertraces. We combine the eigenstructure analysis and the dip-scanning supertrace technique to obtain a new coherence-estimation algorithm. Application to the real data set shows that the new algorithm provides good coherence estimates in areas with strong structural dips. Furthermore, the algorithm is computationally efficient because of the small covariance matrix (4 X 4) used for the eigenstructure analysis.
