Diagram showing three of many possible 2D images that can be generated from a 3D seismic survey. The two "crosslines" are vertical sections at different orientations within the 3D data volume. The "seiscrop" section is a horizontal section through the 3D data volume. In addition to these orientations, 2D sections can be generated at any orientation within the 3D data grid (diagonal, tilted, etc.) and a 3D image can also be generated. After Brown (1988).
