description Seismic data plays a pivotal role in fault detection, offering critical insights into subsurface structures and seismic hazards. Understanding fault detection from seismic data is essential for mitigating seismic risks and guiding land-use plans. This paper presents a comprehensive review of existing methodologies for fault detection, focusing on the application of Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) techniques to enhance accuracy and efficiency. Various ML and DL approaches are analyzed with respect to fault segmentation, adaptive learning, and fault detection models. These techniques, benchmarked against established seismic datasets, reveal significant improvements over classical methods in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency. Additionally, this review highlights emerging trends, including hybrid model applications and the integration of real-time data processing for seismic fault detection. By providing a detailed comparative analysis of current methodologies, this review aims to guide future research and foster advancements in the effectiveness and reliability of seismic studies. Ultimately, the study seeks to bridge the gap between theoretical investigations and practical implementations in fault detection.
