    摘要: A method for subsurface fault extraction using undirected graphs is provided. Extracting faults in the subsurface may assist in various stages of geophysical prospecting. To that end, an undirected graph may be used in order to identify distinctive fault branches in the subsurface. Fault probability data, from seismic data, may be used to establish connections in the undirected graph. Thereafter, some of the connections in the undirected graph may be removed based on analyzing one or more attributes, such as dip, azimuth, or context, associated with the connections or nodes associated with the connections. After which, the undirected graph may be analyzed in order to extract the faults in the subsurface.
