Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided to process spatial data including seismic data. Given a spatial dataset of n dimensions, a data-driven partitioning of the dataset is effected into topographically contiguous regions using feature specific indices. Then on each region, a set of features is calculated according to a computer process, wherein the features are considered sufficiently descriptive of the region. Thereupon, two or more regions which are topographically contiguous are grouped together and the associated features are assembled in an analytical structure to be input to a classifier.
