Abstract
Interpretation of a shot gather and a stack of seismic data. In one implementation, the shot gather is sorted into a first component shot gather, a second component shot gather and a third component shot gather. The first component shot gather is represented as a first subimage, the second component shot gather is represented as a second subimage, and the third component is represented as a third subimage. The first subimage is then merged with the second subimage and the third subimage to create a false color image. The shot gather of seismic traces may then be interpreted based on the false color image. The first component may by an x component, the second component may be a y component and the third component may be a z component. The first subimage may be a red or cyan subimage, the second subimage may be a green or yellow subimage and the third subimage may be a blue or magenta subimage.
