2.1.13 Gradient - Azimuth Of Curvature

Using maximum curvature attribute as an input, the gradient curvature attribute will enhance the curvature following the center of faults and fractures. You can also output the azimuth curvature which is supplementary products that can be used to know the faults orientation, thus it can help assessing the stress regime of the area of study.

For the gradient curvature use the following parameters:

Curvature Data: Max.Curvature

Stepout: 1, 1

Steering: Use Full

Steering Data: Use detailed steering cube

Output: Gradient

 

For the azimuth curvature use the following parameters:

Curvature Data: Maximum Curvature

Stepout: 1,1

Steering: Full

Steering Data: Detailed Steering Cube

Output: Azimuth

 

Curvature A

Curvature B

Results of Gradient curvature. A: Maximum Curvature. B: Gradient Curvature.
