Abstract
Method for decomposing a complexly shaped object in a data set, such as a geobody () in a seismic data volume, into component objects more representative of the true connectivity state of the system represented by the data set. The geobody is decomposed using a basis set of eigenvectors () of a connectivity matrix () describing the state of connectivity between voxels in the geobody. Lineal subspaces of the geobody in eigenvector space are associated with likely component objects (), either by a human interpreter () cross plotting () two or more eigenvectors, or in an automated manner in which a computer algorithm () detects the lineal sub-spaces and the clusters within them.
