Abstract
A system and method for determining a set of first breaks of a seismic dataset are disclosed, the method including obtaining the seismic dataset composed of a plurality of seismic traces and a provisional first break for each seismic trace. The method further includes selecting a plurality of proximal picks for each seismic trace, determining a near-offset pick for each seismic trace starting with shortest offset and sequentially selecting traces in order of increasing offset, and determining a far-offset pick for each seismic trace starting with the farthest offset and sequentially selecting traces in order of decreasing offset. The method further includes determining a set of coincident picks based on the near-offset and the far-offset picks for each seismic trace, fitting a curve to the set of coincident picks, and determining the set of first breaks of the seismic dataset from the curve.
