vHot reads cdp gathers and produces four types of display:
Mute and velocity functions can be picked from the displays.
Velocity Functions
vHot generalizes conventional dynamic corrections by allowing velocity passband functions ...
Where the traces are dominated by coherent noise, the functions have to be picked so as to exclude this noise.
This apart, the velocity bands can be chosen arbitrarily wide - the stack will be at least as good as any conventional
stack. vHot eliminates the need to pick detailed velocity functions.
The displays are optionally colour–coded by velocity. Each such stack display will then show the estimated
velocity at each stacked sample. The intensity of each colour is proportional to the coherence at the
corresponding sample. These stack displays provide an immediate and striking view of the velocity field.
Stretch free NMO
As a bonus, by using vHot, nmo stretch can be made insignificant
