Image processing application in seismic reflection to evaluate geohazard region

GeoJava is GUI (graphical user interface) software that is powerful, yet very simple to use, providing the means to filter color images in RGB (red-green-blue) color space and YUV color space, to produce high quality filtered images. The YUV color space model has been proved to filter images smoothly without losing any data, only enhancing image structure. Different images were used, and satisfactory results were obtained of multi-application objectives. Image processing enhances the images of the CDP (common depth midpoint) seismic reflection sections using different stacking filters to provide supplementary results that are useful for assessing geohazard zones. The results in images clarify the exact location and geometry of cavities and sinkholes, beside localizing the areas that are under stress, and also delineate weak zones.
