Figure 4a shows a more complicated 2-D synthetic example. In this experiment, we assume that the changes occur both in the reservoir and in the shallow subsurface [Figure 4b]. The synthetic data were generated by convolution modeling. After computing local similarity between the two synthetic time-lapse images [Figure 5], we apply the extracted stretch factor to register the images. Figures 4c and 4d compare time-lapse difference images before and after registration. Similarity-based registration effectively removes artifact differences both above and below the synthetic reservoir. As mentioned before, the local similarity cube is an important attribute by itself and includes information on uncertainty bounds for the local stretch factor, which reflects the uncertainty of the reservoir parameter estimation.
