Abstract Virtual resolution enhancement (VRE) is a new poststack cosmetic tool that can be applied to different types of seismic data. VRE emphasizes major reflections, enhances temporal resolution of seismic events, and suppresses reverberation noise, leading to better visualization of the entire seismic data. VRE is based on simple mathematical rule, and its parameters can be tweaked to suite the vast variety of seismic data available today. Although VRE does not reveal new or hidden features on seismic section, it significantly enhances the existing ones, which improves the interpretation and assists automatic horizon picking process. The only disadvantage of VRE is the long computational time. However, given the giant advances in the computational power and speed expected in the near future, this problem should be negligible. Tests conducted on seismic sections, collected from different regions in the world and went through different data acquisition and processing routines, prove the effectiveness of the VRE procedure.

虚拟分辨率增强：一种新的地震数据增强工具

摘要 虚拟分辨率增强（VRE）是一种新型的叠后修饰工具，可应用于不同类型的地震数据。VRE 强调主要反射，提高地震事件的时间分辨率，并抑制混响噪声，从而更好地可视化整个地震数据。VRE 基于简单的数学规则，可以调整其参数以适应当今可用的各种地震数据。尽管 VRE 没有揭示地震剖面上的新特征或隐藏特征，但它显着增强了现有特征，从而改进了解释并有助于自动地层拾取过程。VRE 唯一的缺点是计算时间长。然而，鉴于预计在不久的将来计算能力和速度的巨大进步，这个问题应该可以忽略不计。对从世界不同地区收集并经过不同数据采集和处理程序的地震剖面进行的测试证明了 VRE 程序的有效性。图形概要
