Popis: Automatic geological interpretation, specifically modeling salt dome and fault detection, is controversial task on seismic images from complex geological media. In advanced techniques of seismic interpretation and modeling, various strategies are utilized for combination and integration different information layers to obtain an image adequate for automatic extraction of the object from seismic data. Efficiency of the selected feature extraction, data integration and image segmentation methods are the most important parameters that affect accuracy of the final model. Moreover, quality of the seismic data also affects confidence of the selected seismic attributes for integration. The present study proposed a new strategy for efficient delineation and modeling of geological objects on the seismic image. The proposed method consists of extraction specific features by the histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) method, statistical analysis of the HOG features, integration of features through hybrid attribute analysis and image classification or segmentation. The final result is a binary model of the target under investigation. The HOG method here modified accordingly for extraction of the related features for delineation of salt dome and fault zones from seismic data. The extracted HOG parameter then is statically analyzed to define the best state of information integration. The integrated image, which is the hybrid attribute, then is used for image classification, or image segmentation by the image segmentation method. The seismic image labeling procedure performs on the related seismic attributes, evaluated by the extracted HOG feature. Number of HOG feature and the analyzing parameters are also accordingly optimized. The final image classification then is performed on an image which contains all the embedded information on all the related textural conventional and statistical attributes and features. The proposed methods here apply on four seismic data examples, synthetic model of salt dome and faults and two real data that contain salt dome and fault. Results have shown that the proposed method can more accurately model the targets under investigation, compared to advanced extracted attributes and manual interpretations.
