seismic attribute is a quantitative measure of an interested seismic characteristic. there are several seismic attributes. in recent years, time-frequency (tf) attributes have been developed which to reach them, tf analyzing of seismic data is required. a high resolution tf representation (tfr) can yield more accurate tf attributes. there are several tfr methods including short-time fourier tra...

This paper is concerned with a synthesis study of the fast Fourier transform (FFT), the short time Fourier transform (STFT and the Wigner distribution (WD) in analysing the phonocardiogram signal (PCG) or heart cardiac sounds.     The FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) can provide a basic understanding of the frequency contents of the heart sounds. The STFT is obtained by calculating the Fourier tran...

Time-frequency analysis plays a significant role in seismic data processing and interpretation. Complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition decomposes a seismic signal into a sum of oscillatory components, with guaranteed positive and smoothly varying instantaneous frequencies. Analysis on synthetic and real data demonstrates that this method promises higher spectral-spatial resolution than ...

Endurance Time Acceleration Functions are specially predesigned intensifying excitation functions that their amplitude increases with time. On the other hand, wavelet transform is a mathematical tool that indicates time variations of frequency in a signal. In this paper, an approach is presented for generating endurance time acceleration functions (ETAFs) whose response spectrum is compatible w...

The Hilbert-based time-frequency analysis has promising capacity to reveal the time-variant behaviors of a system. To admit well-behaved Hilbert transforms, component decomposition of signals must be performed beforehand. This was first systematically implemented by the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) in the Hilbert-Huang transform, which can provide a time-frequency representation of the si...

most geologic changes have a seismic response but sometimes this is expressed only in certain spectral ranges hidden within the broadband data. spectral decomposition is one of the methods which can be utilized to help interpreting such cases. there are several time-frequency methods including: short-time fourier transform (stft), continuous wavelet transform (cwt), wigner-ville distribution (w...

elastic energy of seismic wave is lost through propagation into the earth. various factors affect seismic energy. some of them are frequency independent and recovered in processing steps. but other factors such as intrinsic absorption of medium are frequency dependent and cannot be recovered by processing methods. lost energy caused by these factors is called attenuation. there are various meth...
