DeepStratNet framework reframes seismic horizon tracking from segmentation to regression

Researchers have developed DeepStratNet, a novel framework for seismic horizon tracking that reframes the task from dense semantic segmentation to bounded coordinate regression. This approach directly predicts the time/depth coordinate of a horizon at each lateral position, incorporating an LSTM module to model inter-slice context and ensure continuity. The method, evaluated on seismic data from New Zealand, demonstrates superior quantitative and qualitative performance compared to traditional segmentation methods, particularly under sparse labeling conditions. AI

IMPACT This novel regression-based approach could improve efficiency and accuracy in seismic data interpretation, potentially impacting resource exploration and geological analysis.

    DeepStratNet: A Context-Aware Coordinate Regression Framework for Seismic Horizon Tracking under Sparse Labels

    arXiv:2610.02494v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automatic horizon tracking is a foundational task in 3D seismic interpretation. Most existing deep learning approaches formulate it as dense semantic segmentation, typically using U-Net-based architectures. The model produces a prob…
