“…Also, some researchers picked the stack velocity directly based on the prestack gather (Biswas et al., 2019; Carlos et al., 1998; Y. Ma et al., 2018; P. Zhang & Lu, 2016). In addition, hybrid methods, combining both the information of velocity spectrum and other information, for example, prestack gather and stacked gather slice, were introduced to pick the stack velocity (Ferreira et al., 2020; H. Ma, 2021; H. Wang et al., 2022). In the current paper, we will focus on discussing the automatic picking method based on the semblance velocity spectra.…”
