2024.3: Smarter Timelapse Analysis, Sharper Property Control
The 2024.3 release, developed in collaboration with a major operator and longtime client, extends Sharp Reflections’ 4D seismic capabilities with two focused upgrades:
Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) for Timelapse Timeshift Estimation
This newly added algorithm—an industry-recognized method first described by Hale (2013)—improves timeshift estimation between seismic vintages, especially when shifts vary within analysis windows or data contain significant noise. DTW adds robustness and precision to timelapse seismic analysis workflows.

New Property QC & Editing Tool
A flexible utility for refining property volumes—such as timeshift or velocity—using interactive cross-plots, mask-based editing, and interpolation. Users can easily isolate unreliable data, preview edits in QC mode, and generate clean, consistent property volumes with confidence.

The release also includes a small quality-of-life enhancement: 5D reference volume support for the Auto/Cross-Correlation tool.
Sharp Reflections 2024.3 continues our focus on practical innovation—delivering incremental but meaningful improvements that make analysis faster, clearer, and more reliable.
