1-D and 2-D constraints on stacking velocity picking

The interpretation of stacking velocity spectra is often done manually by expert seismic analysts because in most real cases many complex decisions and correlations have to be made. Automatic picking algorithms are not often able to take into account the numerous physical and geological constraints or include the a priori information that guides the human interpreter. The aim of this paper is to help to reduce the gap between the two results, introducing constraints in 1 and 2 dimensions that emulate the main criteria followed by seismic analysts. -Authors
