Name
Velocity Fan Filter -- Attribute that returns energy with apparent velocities inside a specified Min/Max range.
Velocity fan filter
The velocity fan filter passes energy with apparent velocities inside the specified Min/Max velocity range. The filter supports three options: pass low velocities (i.e. suppress high velocities), pass high velocities (i.e. suppress low velocities) and pass velocities within a specified cone. Therefore, this attribute can be used to filter out or enhance certain dip/azimuth events.
The Filter size is the size of the 3D kernel. Filter size 3 means the data is convoluted with a 3x3x3 kernel. To reduce edge effects it is recommended to apply a cosine square taper. A Taper length of N means (100-2N)% of the specified velocity range will be flat. Azimuth filter is a special option that allows the dipping energy to be passed inside the specified Azimuth to pass direction only.
Example:
An example of a velocity fan filter (high-pass) applied on a time slice. By applying the appropriate filtering parameters, the random noise has been suppressed thus enhancing the amplitudes visibility. Also notice the comparision of this filter with the DSMF (Dip-Steered Median Filter) that is almost same with an assumption of high pass of velocities in the middle image.
