[OpendTect_Users] 3D GPR data

 From what you are saying, you may need to gather your data and turn it 
into 3D before you load it in OpendTect. Inside OpendTect there is no 
direct way to do the conversion from a 2D LineSet to a 3D Cube.

Bert and I have been investigating that issue lately. It is far from 
simple to create a 3D pseudo cube out of 2D. It requires some complex 
FFT interpolation to spread the traces on the grid and the distances 
between the lines are often too big. We might get sponsored by BG for a 
project of cube merging which also implies seismic interpolation. Some 
of the tools will be usable in both cases even though the 2D to 3D is 
much more difficult.

However the problem might be a bit easier with densely sampled data such 
as GPR and I think I could come up in due time with something. I am not 
sure how good the quality would be and when this can actually be done. 
Probably not before a few weeks/months because we are really busy right 
now making the 4.2 release. In any case I would like to have some GPR 
data to test (does anybody have some available ?).

Regards,
Bruno
