Three-dimensional display of adjacent seismic sections
Patent

OSTI ID:7126841
This patent describes an apparatus for displaying seismograms in a three-dimensional presentation of subsurface formations of a segment of the earth form which the seismograms were obtained comprising: a digital computer for generating from the seismograms arrays of digital words representing seismic sections. Each word in each array represents the amplitude of reflected seismic energy as a function of distance along a line of exploration and depth of the reflector; a digital memory for storing the arrays; an interface controller for storing the arrays in the memory and for retrieving the words of each array in a sequence such that the depth corresponds with horizontal sweep of a television raster; a digital to analog converter for converting the retrieved words to video signals; a video recorder for recording the video signals in a sequence representing successive, adjacent, seismic sections; and a video monitor, the video signals from the recorder being applied to the monitor to display the recorded sequence of adjacent seismic sections whereby a visual impression of movement through subsurface formations is produced.
