SEG-Y is a file format for seismic image data. It is also known as SEGY or SGY.

Issues and sample data welcome.

using System;
using Unplugged.Segy;

var reader = new SegyReader();
ISegyFile line = reader.Read(@"RMOTC Seismic data set\2D_Seismic\NormalizedMigrated_segy\lineA.sgy");
ITrace trace = line.Traces[0];
double mean = 0;
double max = double.MinValue;
double min = double.MaxValue;
foreach (var sampleValue in trace.Values)
{
    mean += sampleValue / trace.Values.Count;
    if (sampleValue < min) min = sampleValue;
    if (sampleValue > max) max = sampleValue;
}
Console.WriteLine(min);
Console.WriteLine(max);
Console.WriteLine(mean);
