This is best achieved via the OpendTect "Attribute Set" dialog. If you haven't closed the "Attribute Set" dialog used to launch the SsbQt plugin, then it should still be somewhere on your desktop (possibly hidden behind other windows). At this stage you will need to select the operator to use. This is achieved by clicking the Select... push button to the right of "Input Wavelet" label which will pop up a dialog with a list of available wavelets. Select the wavelet that was saved during the SsbQt analysis and design. The final step before running our test will be to give our attribute a name via the input field to the right of Attribute name label and click the Add as new button. Now, assuming that an In-line or X-line graphical element is displayed within OpendTect and that one of these items is selected as active, then it is very easy to see the effect of the derived Spectral Blueing operator by clicking the icon within the OpendTect "Attribute Set" dialog. This will immediately apply the Spectral Blueing operator to the selected "Input Data" in the Attribute Set for the In-line or X-line graphic element currently displayed. Display will then be updated and, if it is visible in one of the scenes, you will immediately see the result. This is a very useful QC tool which will allow you to view the results of applying the derived Spectral Blueing operator to your data before committing to processing multiple 3D inlines (sub-volume) or the entire 3D seismic volume.

Application of the Spectral Blueing operator is achieved via the OpendTect attribute processing facility (see OpendTect documentation chapter 5 for details of how to do this). In brief, this can be achieved by either clicking Processing->Create Seismic output... menu item or clicking the icon within the OpendTect main window. This will pop up the "Process" dialog.

Key parameters for generating Spectral Blueing volume

The list below describes how you specify the various parameters to the Process controller to Create a Spectral Blueing output. Quantity to Output Clicking the Select... push button to the right of the "Quantity to output" label allows you to select the named attribute to be used in the processing. The named attribute should be the attribute you added as new in section "Testing the Spectral Blueing operator". The named attribute knows: the type of attribute/process (in this case Spectral Blueing), the input data and the input wavelet to be applied. Volume subselection Clicking the Select... push button to the right of the "Volume subselection" label allows you to specify whether you wish to process the entire input volume or a sub-volume. Output Cube Clicking the Select... push button to the right of the "Output Cube" label allows you to select an existing cube to be overwritten or to specify a new cube to be created. Submit to Click the Single machine radio button to submit this processing job to a single machine. Details of using Single or Multiple machines can be found in the OpendTect documentation. Store processing specification as Recommend that you accept the default. All other parameters on this dialog can be ignored.
