IDM is a velocity model building technique in which geological information and interpretation are used as constraints to a horizon-based tomographic update.

The integration of geological interpretation and seismic tomography enables a detailed velocity model to be derived, particularly in regions of rapid lateral velocity changes, such as fault shadow zones and areas of karst tomography.
