abstract = "Seismic horizons indicate change in rock properties and are central  in geoscience interpretation. Traditional interpretation systems  involve time consuming and repetitive manual volumetric seeding for  horizon growing. We present a novel system for rapidly interpreting  and visualizing seismic volumetric data. First we extract horizon  surface-parts by preprocessing the seismic data. Then during interaction  the user can assemble in realtime the horizon parts into horizons.  Traditional interpretation systems use gradient-based illumination  models in the rendering of the seismic volume and polygon rendering  of horizon surfaces. We employ realtime gradientfree forward-scattering  in the rendering of seismic volumes yielding results similar to high-quality  global illumination. We use an implicit surface representation of  horizons allowing for a seamless integration of horizon rendering  and volume rendering. We present a collection of novel techniques  constituting an interpretation and visualization system highly tailored  to seismic data interpretation.",
