Mapping 3D Geo-Bodies Based on Level Set and Marching Methods

Abstract

In this chapter, a simplified method for mapping objects based on the level set method is introduced. Level set and marching methods are used to map connected volumes within 3D seismic data. The simpler marching method solves the stationary problem stated by the level set formulation. The evolution of the object, from a seed point to the boundary, is described by a differential equation.
