Theory
It is possible to have a seismic line simultaneously displayed
in the background as the velocity field is being built or edited.
This tool is useful for:
• Creating a velocity and/or density field for finite differ-
ence modeling.
• Editing out instabilities after an RMS-to-interval velocity
conversion.
• Producing a velocity field conforming to the structure
seen on a seismic section for input to a depth migration.
• Analyzing and adjusting the results of a tomographic
velocity inversion.
• Displaying a velocity field overlain on a seismic section
as a quality control plot.
Usage
This tool is designed to be self-teaching, with mouse and
online help to guide you. You are encouraged to experiment.

CDP 120 have a velocity of 2000 m/sec and all points on CDP
121 have a velocity of 3000 m/sec. After horizontal
interpolation, all times on all CDPs less than 120 have a
velocity of 2000 m/sec, while times on all CDPs greater than
121 have a velocity of 3000 m/sec., that is, velocities are
extrapolated backwards and forward from the first and last
velocity control points.
