Abstract

This document illustrates the process of detecting faults in the Earth´s surface. Fault detection is an important part in the interpretation of Seismic Images, both in the exploration and development phases. The document defines how a Seismic Image can be processed with variety of image enhancement mechanisms followed by tracking algorithm to find the faults. It is based on the study of Ant Tracking Algorithm and its implementation on single or series of 2D Images.
