Multifractals and Wavelets: A potential tool in Geophysics
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper should be understood as a tutorial in multifractals and their analysis via wavelets, in view of possible applications in geophysics. It is elaborated how a description of the well log measurement through wavelets provides a new way of modeling re ection of waves in a material which is dependent on frequency. The wavelet analysis has the potential to provide an explanation for the inconstencies that are observed when comparing subsurface models that have been constructed from measurements with di erent resolutions, such as surface seismic, vertical seismic pro les and well logs.

Multifractals, Generalized Scale Invariance and Complexity in Geophysics
The complexity of geophysics has been extremely stimulating for developing concepts and techniques to analyze, understand and simulate it. This is particularly true for multifractals and Generalized Scale Invariance. We review the fundamentals, introduced with the help of pedagogical examples, then their abstract generalization is considered. This includes the characterization of multifractals,...
متن کاملFault Strike Detection Using Satellite Gravity Data Decomposition by Discrete Wavelets: A Case Study from Iran
Estimating the gravity anomaly causative bodies boundary can facilitate the gravity field interpretation. In this paper, 2D discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is employed as a method to delineate the boundary of the gravity anomaly sources. Hence, the GRACE’ satellite gravity data is decomposed using DWT. DWT decomposites a single approximation coefficients into four distinct components: the appr...
متن کاملWavelets to Reconstruct Turbulence Multifractals from Experimental Image Sequences
In the context of turbulent fluid motion measurement from image sequences, we propose in this paper to reverse the traditional point of view of wavelets perceived as an analyzing tool: wavelets and their properties are now considered as prior regularization models for the motion estimation problem, in order to exhibit some well-known turbulence regularities and multifractal behaviors on the rec...
متن کاملPermeability upscaling in fractured reservoirs using different optimized mother wavelets at each level
We use a multi-resolution analysis based on a wavelet transform to upscale a 3D fractured reservoir. This paper describes a 3D, single-phase, and black-oil geological model (GM) that is used to simulate naturally-fractured reservoirs. The absolute permeability and porosity of GM is upscaled by all the possible combinations of Haar, Bior1.3, and Db4 wavelets in three levels of coarsening. The ap...
متن کاملGIS modelling for Au-Pb-Zn potential mapping in Torud-Chah Shirin area-Iran
One of the major strengths of a Geographic Information System (GIS) in geosciences is the ability to integrate and combine multiple layers into mineral potential maps showing areas which are favorable for mineral exploration. These capabilities make GIS an extremely useful tool for mineral exploration. Several spatial modeling techniques can be employed to produce potential maps. However, these...
