Improving interpretability with Machine Learning
- Written by: Paul de Groot
Today, we show another great example of how you can quickly improve the interpretability of seismic data by applying a trained Machine Learning model.
DeSmile is one the models from Lundin-GeoLab (nowadays AkerBP) that is available in OpendTect’s growing library of trained ML models
OpendTect is now STL compatible thanks to BGE sponsoring
- Written by: Marieke van Hout
Our latest OpendTect v6.6.8 supports STL format. This is a format used in the Computer Aided Design industry to design 3D objects. It is used in the Mining industry to show subsurface constructions such as mines. A nice feature (not shown) in OpendTect is that you can display attributes on the surface of the 3D body. For example displaying fault attributes would show where faults are intersecting the structure

Upcoming Price Increase
- Written by: Paul de Groot
We’ve held our prices pretty much constant for a considerable time now but due to spiraling inflation we will be increasing our prices by 10% in the new year.
The updated prices will allow us to maintain and improve our standards for excellence. We will keep pushing the boundaries of technology, improving OpendTect's performance and support, so that we can continue to give you the very best value for money.
High-Resolution 3D Waveform Segmentation
- Written by: Paul de Groot
In April 2022, Friso Brouwer of I^3 GEO, conducted an OpendTect webinar in which he showed how high-resolution 3D waveform segmentation can be used for quick geomorphological analysis.
In this post, we show another application of Friso’s workflow. We use the Delft survey, which is freely available from TerraNubis, our cloud portal. Delft is one of several free projects that do not check for license keys, meaning you can run OpendTect Pro and commercial plugins on this dataset.

Machine Learning: Lundin GeoLab SimpleDenoise
- Written by: Marieke van Hout
This week we want to show you an example of the 4th Lundin model 'Lundin_GeoLab_SimpleDenoise". We believe this model is applicable to almost all datasets. Unlike the AJAX model, the SimpleDenoise model preserves the amplitude - frequency content. It only removes random noise.
