Autopicking (or autotracking) has been around in interactive interpretation systems since the early 1980s. The concept behind autopicking is quite simple. The interpreter places seed picks on lines and/or cross-lines in the 3-D survey. These seed points are then used as initial control for the autopicking operation. The algorithm looks for a similar feature on a neighboring trace. If it finds such a feature within specified constraints, it picks that trace and moves on to the next trace. Simple autopickers allow the user to specify a feature to be tracked, an allowable amplitude range, and a dip window in which to search.
