Seismic Wavelet Estimation by Short-time homomorphic wavelet analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
SUMMARY Wavelet estimation plays an important role in many seismic processes like impedance inversion, amplitude versus offset (AVO) and full waveform inversion (FWI). Statistical methods of wavelet estimation away from well control are a desirable tool to support seismic signal processing. One of these methods based on Homomorphic analysis has long intrigued as a potentially elegant solution to the wavelet estimation problem. Yet a successful implementation has proven difficult. We propose here a method based short-time homomorphic analysis which includes elements of the classical cepstrum analysis and log spectral averaging. Our proposal increases the number of segments, thus reducing estimation variances. Results show good performance on realistic synthetic examples.

متن کاملFrequency-time decomposition of seismic data using wavelet-based methods
Spectral analysis is an important signal processing tool for seismic data. The transformation of a seismogram into the frequency domain is the basis for a significant number of processing algorithms and interpretive methods. However, for seismograms whose frequency content vary with time, a simple 1-D (Fourier) frequency transformation is not sufficient. Improved spectral decomposition in frequ...
متن کاملRevisiting Homomorphic Wavelet Estimation and Phase Unwrapping
Surface-consistent deconvolution is a standard processing technique in land data to uniformize the wavelet across all sources and receivers. The required wavelet estimation step is generally done in the homomorphic domain since this is a convenient way to separate the phase and the amplitude spectrum in a linear fashion. Unfortunately all surface-consistent deconvolutions make a minimum-phase a...
متن کاملEstimation of arrival times from seismic waves: a manifold-based approach∗
S U M M A R Y We propose a new method to analyse seismic time-series and estimate the arrival times of seismic waves. Our approach combines two ingredients: the time-series are first lifted into a highdimensional space using time-delay embedding; the resulting phase space is then parametrized using a non-linear method based on the eigenvectors of the graph Laplacian. We validate our approach us...
