Tools

• Tool design alone determines the character of processing and data exchange with the environment

• • Each tool decides when and how to pass traces to the output;
  • • Thus, traces can easily be added, removed, or sent backward in the flow, etc.

• Some examples of seismic tools:

• • General signal processing;
  • Wide-angle geometry on ellipsoidal Earth;
  • Amplitude and polarization analysis;
  • AVO and seismic inversion package (in progress);
  • Travel-time processing package;
  • Ray tracing, tomography (2D), migration (2D and 3D earthquake-style);
  • Synthetics (parallelized in 1D and 3D);
  • Plotting;
  • Interfaces to Seismic UNIX, rayinvr, GMT, plotmtv, and other academic software.
