Line and edge detection and enhancement

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media for processing seismic data of a geologic environment, the computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions to instruct a computing device to perform a process, the process comprising:

• identifying a plurality of data values related to a first object defined by a first plurality of points within a volume of the geologic environment, wherein the first object intersects a second object defined by a second plurality of points within the volume;
• calculating a statistical significance statistic related to the second object;
• interpolating a P-value related to the statistical significance statistic;
• determining a significant P-value taken over the second object, wherein the significant P-value comprises a minimum P-value that provides a maximum negative log(P(statistical significance statistic));
• determining a seismic data attribute value based at least in part on the determining the significant P-value;
• and
• displaying an edge enhanced image of the geologic environment using the seismic data attribute value, wherein the edge enhanced image improves structural interpretation of the geologic environment.

A system for processing seismic data of a geologic environment, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory;
• a storage medium;
• a plurality of computer-executable instructions residing in the storage medium to instruct the processor to perform a process, the process comprising:
• identifying a plurality of data values related to a first object defined by a first plurality of points within a volume of the geologic environment, wherein the first object intersects a second object defined by a second plurality of points within the volume;
• calculating a statistical significance statistic related to the second object;
• interpolating a P-value related to the statistical significance statistic;
• determining a significant P-value taken over the second object, wherein the significant P-value comprises a minimum P-value that provides a maximum negative log(P(statistical significance statistic));
• determining a seismic data attribute value based at least in part on the determining the significant P-value;
• and
• displaying an edge enhanced image of the geologic environment using the seismic data attribute value, wherein the edge enhanced image improves structural interpretation of the geologic environment.
