Abstract
A data set comprises data obtained by seismic imaging of a region of interest during an observation period. An intrinsic geological variability of a region is determined from the comparison of reception signals for neighbor bins as a function of a difference in signal geometry for the neighbor bins.

A computerized method of characterizing a geological region of interest comprising:
- providing a data set comprising data obtained by seismic imaging of the region of interest during an observation period, said data set comprising, for each bin of the region of interest, data related to an emission signal, a reception signal, and a signal geometry,
- repeatedly, for all bins of a region of interest, a processor determines an intrinsic geological variability of a bin of the region of interest from the comparison of reception signals for neighbour bins as a function of a difference in signal geometry for said neighbour bins, thereby obtaining a map of the intrinsic geological variability of the region of interest, and
- displaying said map on a display.
