  • Patent number: 11965999
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for processing a seismic image comprising seismic values obtained from seismic measurements performed on a geological formation includes determining a seismic dip image based on the seismic image, said seismic dip image comprising local seismic dips representative of the local gradient of the seismic values of the seismic image; initializing a seismic horizon surface modeled by using a combination of spline functions or by using a triangle mesh; and iteratively modifying coefficients used for combining the spline functions, thereby iteratively modifying the seismic horizon surface to progressively increase alignment between local orientations of the seismic horizon surface and the corresponding local seismic dips, until a predetermined stop criterion is satisfied.

  • Publication number: 20130182097
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of imaging a longitudinal conduit resting by its base on the seabed, comprising the following steps: acquiring a set of images of at least a part of the conduit by a mobile underwater acquisition device, each image being associated with a temporal reference corresponding to the moment of its acquisition, extracting from each image the zone included in one and the same window, said window being predefined with respect to the frame of the images, and effecting an unwrapped image of at least a part of the conduit by juxtaposing, in chronological order, the extracted zones of each image.
