The Interpretation bar provides tools for seismic horizon and fault interpretation, including automatic picking, correlation control, AI-assisted detection, and import/export of interpretation objects.

The bar consists of the following sections: Picking, Horizons, Horizons Import, AI Detection and Faults Import. For more information about the supported formats refer to Horizon Data Formats and Fault Data Formats.

This bar brings together the horizon and fault interpretation tools that were previously divided between separate bars, so that picking, horizon map updates and the import and export of both horizons and faults are all available in one place. External topography is no longer loaded from this bar — it is now loaded from the Topography item in the Data Manager context menu.

Picking

Defines how horizons are picked in the seismic views. The available parameters are:

• Pick mode — the picking mode (for example Autopicking).
• Pick type — the trace feature picked, such as Zero phase, peak, or trough.
• Magnet type — how the pick snaps to the seismic signal (for example Cross-correlation).
• Picking window and XCorr window (ms) — the time windows used for picking and for cross-correlation.
• XCorr threshold (%), XCorr with, Radius limit and Override in radius — control the correlation quality, the reference seed, and the radius within which picks are accepted.

These picking parameters are set directly in the bar. In earlier versions they were located in Module Properties.

A full description of the picking workflow is given in Seismic picking.

Horizons

Update the selected horizon maps from the current horizon picks.

Run the AI Horizons Stack wizard to automatically pick several horizons across the seismic volume using a trained model.

Horizons Import

Import and export horizon interpretation data. For more information refer to Import horizons / Export horizons.

Save horizon binary

Load horizon binary

Import horizon ASCII

Import horizon (charisma format)

Export current horizon ASCII

AI Detection

Runs AI-assisted fault detection on the selected seismic data to automatically highlight fault surfaces. See AI faults wizard and Fault prediction for the full workflow.

Faults Import

Import and export fault interpretation data. For more information refer to Import faults / Export faults.

Export faults binary

Import faults binary

Import faults as charisma

Export faults as charisma
