The seismic processing module for converting interval velocity from the depth domain to RMS (Root Mean Square) velocity in the time domain is designed to transform velocity data for more accurate seismic analysis and interpretation. The module takes interval velocity values, which are defined in terms of depth, and converts them into RMS velocities, which are typically used in the time domain for seismic data processing. This conversion is crucial for creating accurate time-based models and understanding seismic wave propagation through different subsurface layers. The process involves calculating the RMS velocity from the interval velocities at each depth layer, taking into account the thickness and velocity of each layer.

The Dix formula is commonly used for converting interval velocities from the depth domain to RMS (Root Mean Square) velocities in the time domain. The formula is:
Where:
•V RMS - is the RMS velocity at the top of the layer (in the time domain).
•Vi - is the interval velocity for the iii-th layer (in the depth domain).
•Δz - is the thickness of the i-th layer.
•n - is the number of layers above the current layer.
