• Spectral Decomposition is a process to decompose a signal into constituent sines and
cosines components.
• The frequency spectrum of a recorded seismic signal is affected by several factors such as
energy absorption, tuning etc.
• Since a particular geological features may be better recognized with a specific frequency
band, visualizing these features becomes easier with RGB blending of different frequency
volumes.
• RGB blending of Spectral Decomposition results has been very popular in seismic
interpretation especially in delineating geological features or lithology such as thin channel
sands, carbonate, etc.
• The use of discontinuity attribute aid the interpretation using Spectral decomposition results.
• Further more, high quality as well as robust interpretation can be achieved by matching the
color to the most sensitive range of human eye sensitivity.

For the purpose of
visualization and
interpretation (i.e. RGB
blending), the Time-
Frequency gather is re-
sorted as iso-frequency
volumes.
Displaying the iso-

• Since human eye has limitation on separating certain color (i.e. features),
discontinuity / edge detection on each color channel volume may delineate the
particular feature or lithology better compared to the conventional RGB
blending.
• Horizon Edge Stacking was used to identify edges or features in the input
amplitude volume of each color channel.
• The Horizon Edge Stacking results then used as RGB blending input to get
better visual separation of the features of lithology.
• Changing the frequency combination could help the interpretation.

• A challenging situation is when two geological features show up in two
different colors which are difficult for human eye to discriminate such as blue-
cyan-violet.
• If the spectrum can be shifted to the colors where the human eye is sensitive
most such as yellow or green, the geological features can be distinguished
easier.
• Transforming the three frequencies volume from RGB to HSV (Hue-
Saturation-Value) color space and shift the color spectrum greatly improves
the seismic interpretation.
HSV Rotation or Hue Color Shift

Human vision sensitivity. Adapted from Spectral ray tracing by
J. C. Cecilia Zhang, Ashwinlal Sreelal. 2016.
Generally, human eye is more sensitive to green, yellow, and red color, and less sensitive to blue, cyan and purple color.
Changing the native color of certain feature to the color where the human eye is the most sensitive will greatly improve
the discrimination of the features.

used to interpret geological feature (i.e. channels or faults).

RGB color model
In the RGB color model, a color is determined by combination / blending the 3 basic colors.
In the HSV color model, a color is determined dominantly by hue value (i.e. in degree azimuth where 0 or 360 is red.)

Since certain feature might be associated with certain
color, it is possible to highlight the feature by masking the
other feature associated with other color.
This can be done by lowering the saturation to make it
displayed in greyscale, lowering the value to make it
displayed darker, or lowering the transparency.

• RGB blending of Spectral Decomposition results has been popular in

• Since some geological features may show up in different frequencies,
visualizing these in RGB blending will facilitate easier delineation of those
features.
• Transforming the RGB to HSV color spectrum and shifting it to other colors
where the human eye is the most sensitive would make the delineation of
the geological features much easier and robust.
• Furthermore, since certain geological feature may be associated with
certain color, it is possible to highlight it by masking the other interfering
geological feature associated to other color by manipulating the Hue,
Saturation and Value.

    39 • RGB blendingof Spectral Decomposition results has been popular in seismic interpretation especially in delineating geological features or lithology such as thin channel sands and carbonate build ups. • Since some geological features may show up in different frequencies, visualizing these in RGB blending will facilitate easier delineation of those features. • Transforming the RGB to HSV color spectrum and shifting it to other colors where the human eye is the most sensitive would make the delineation of the geological features much easier and robust. • Furthermore, since certain geological feature may be associated with certain color, it is possible to highlight it by masking the other interfering geological feature associated to other color by manipulating the Hue, Saturation and Value.
