Abstract: The determination of coherent events in a seismic image is disclosed including the following operational phases: a phase of selecting a segmentation criterion based on a variable and at least one sliding window on the zone and its characteristics, a phase of hierarchical segmentation, for overlapping positions of the sliding window, including a segmentation of the zone into n regions and for each pixel located at least once by a segmentation boundary; a phase of assigning to the non-located pixels a value of indices (EI and EIC) corresponding to a numerical or alphanumeric characteristic non-value; a phase of determining coherent events of the image by thresholding the indices (EI and EIC), that is by selecting only located pixels of the zone corresponding to values lower or higher than a fixed threshold.
