Abstract
A method for classification of a subsurface includes the steps of: inputting at least two seismic drive layer property data sets; inputting data defining one or more zones of interest in the classification input data sets; inputting analysis data sets with data types corresponding to that of the classification input data sets; inputting data defining a subset of interest in the analysis data sets; defining in the subset of interest within the data type space one or more data type subspaces that characterize subsurface features; selecting at least one data type subspace to be used for classification; determining which data points in the zone of interest fall within the selected data type subspaces; and typifying these data points to so classify these data points of the classification input data.
