Machine Learning Workflows - Fast and Simple Seismic Facies Analysis - 3D UVQ Waveform Segmentation
- Written by: Paul de Groot
OpendTect Machine Learning supports supervised and unsupervised workflows for seismic facies analysis.
Today’s post discusses an unsupervised workflow. The 3D UVQ Waveform Segmentation workflow is the 3D variant of the Quick UVQ workflow that we discussed earlier in this series on OpendTect ML workflows. In Quick UVQ we segment (cluster) seismic waveforms (trace segments) around a mapped horizon into a user-defined number of segments. A typical number of segments in Quick UVQ is 10.

Machine Learning Workflows - Using AI for Salt Detection
- Written by: Paul de Groot
This is the second post in our series on OpendTect Machine Learning workflows. This time we show how to extract a salt body from 3D seismic. The ML workflow is called “Seismic Image Segmentation.” We train a 2D Unet (128x128 samples) to transform a seismic image into an image with values between 0 (no salt) and 1 (salt). The labels for training the Unet are created from interpretations of salt boundaries on a few sections. The trained Unet generates a new volume with values between 0 and 1 from which a 3D salt body is extracted.

The Power of OpendTect's Attribute Engine
- Written by: Hesham Refayee
Seismic attribute analysis has been an integral part of seismic interpretation workflows for decades. We can compute numerous attributes from seismic data and use them to interpret structural, stratigraphical, and DHI anomalies.
Our attribute engine supports the most advanced seismic attributes in our industry. Here are some examples:
Machine Learning Workflows – Quick UVQ Waveform Segmentation
- Written by: Paul de Groot
Today, we start a series of posts about Machine Learning Workflows supported in OpendTect. Each workflow is presented in the form of a short video. We will show that you do not have to be a data science expert to use Machine Learning solutions in day-to-day seismic interpretation work. Some videos show workflows from our original Neural Networks plugin, which is now an integral part of the Machine Learning plugin. Other videos describe new workflows for deep learning algorithms such as CNNs and Unets. Amongst others we will show that labels can be created with a paintbrush (image-to-point applications) and by drawing polygons (image-to-image applications).

XGBoost NPHI Prediction
- Written by: Paul de Groot
In today’s post we show how Machine Learning can be used to predict a missing log. The model is called XGBoost (eXtreme Gradient Boosting). This is an extremely fast ensemble technique in which the overall performance of a base model is improved through boosting.
