Convolve

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000852

To perform the mathematical operation of convolution, which combines two functions to produce a third function. In seismic processing, this involves applying a seismic wavelet to the Earth's reflectivity series to simulate the recorded seismic trace. This operation is central to forward modeling and inverse problems in seismic interpretation.
