Abstract
A method for associating each descendent picked point with a parent seed point is disclosed which is used in a computerized method of automatically picking horizons from a three dimensional volume of seismic data traces. Such association of each and point to each of its descendent picked points is recorded in computer memory. The method further includes displaying a path from a descendent picked point back to a starting seed point which led to its selection as a picked point.
