Conclusion

Dynamic programming can be effective in automatically picking surfaces and semblance. The method, in current form, is limited to 2-D, limits its applicability to the surface picking problem. Lloyd's algorithm offers a way to QC automatically picked volumes. By replacing the probability distribution function with an error misfit function, Lloyd's algorithm can be used to effectively characterize a dense series to a sparser set of picks while maintaining its essential character.
