Abstract

Accurate segmentation of seismic images remains a critical pursuit in subsurface exploration. This paper introduces an innovative methodology aiming to elevate the precision and reliability of seismic image segmentation. Leveraging the Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) alongside the UNET architecture—renowned for its hierarchical feature extraction—this study presents a novel approach to delineating subsurface structures, notably salt bodies, within seismic data. The synergy between GLCM's rich textural insights and UNET's sophisticated feature extraction capabilities holds promise in significantly refining the delineation of intricate subsurface features. Motivated by the need for automation and enhanced accuracy in seismic imaging interpretation, a substantial repository containing 4,000 training seismic image patches, each complemented by corresponding segmentation masks. Evaluation was performed on a separate set of 18,000 seismic image patches, and accompanied by depth information for sample locations. The proposed methodology not only aims to enhance segmentation accuracy but also endeavors to advance seismic interpretation practices, potentially contributing to informed decision-making in subsurface exploration. Rigorous experimentation conducted within a unified training framework revealed promising results, demonstrating the proposed architecture's performance comparable to or, in most cases, surpassing established segmentation models.
