Since the major source of inaccuracy in the Figure 2(b) result is within the salt canyon indicated on the figure, we can restrict our analysis to that region. By setting a smaller minimum segment size, the user can be much more selective about what regions to include as salt. Figures 3(a) and 3(b) display two possible salt interpretations generated by the automatic PRC algorithm for the region in question. In Figure 3(b), an extra segment (indicated by the arrow) has been included in the salt. By replacing segments interpreted as salt with salt velocities on the original sediment flood velocity model, two different velocity models can also be created (Figures 4(a) and 4(b)).

Figure 4. Salt-flood velocity models corresponding to the interpretations in Figures 3(a) and 3(b). The models were created from a sediment-flood velocity model by assigning salt velocities below the interpreted salt boundary. |
