First-Arrival Travel Times Picking through Sliding Windows and Fuzzy C-Means

First-arrival picking is a critical step in seismic data processing. This paper proposes the first-arrival picking through sliding windows and fuzzy c-means (FPSF) algorithm with two stages. The first stage detects a range using sliding windows on vertical and horizontal directions. The second stage...
