Abstract

This papers covers some topics in geophysical signal interpretation, by means of Artificial Intelligence (Machine Vision) techniques.

In particular, the low-level processing modules of a Knowledge-Based System for seismic reflection image understanding are presented, as well as an explanation of their structural and functional characteristics.

Preliminary results are also given and discussed.
