Abstract

The issue of automating the interpretation of data in geophysical exploration by means of artificial intelligence and pattern recognition techniques is addressed. The main features of the knowledge adopted by a domain expert are outlined and used as the basis for the design of a knowledge-based system named Horizons that will support the stratigraphic interpretation of seismic data. The architecture of the system is presented, including generation, validation, consistency-maintenance, and control modules, all designed as cooperating intelligent units. A prototype version of Horizons is presented, and results are briefly discussed
