introduction: wavelet transform is one of the useful and suitable tools for time series and signal analysis. nowadays wavelet transform is frequently used in geophysical data processing and interpretation, especially seismic data. however, the use of this method isn’t widespread in gravity and geomagnetic. fedi and quarta (1998), martelet et al.

Damage identification of structures using experimental modal analysis and continuous wavelet transform

Abstract: Modal analysis is a powerful technique for understanding the behavior and performance of structures. Modal analysis can be conducted via artificial excitation, e.g. shaker or instrument hammer excitation. Input force and output responses are measured. That is normally referred to as experimental modal analysis (EMA). EMA consists of three steps: data acquisition, system identificatio...

Identification of Flicker Source Using Continuous Wavelet Transform

In this paper, a method based on continuous wavelet transform is suggested for calculation of flicker power. The flicker power can be utilized to identify the flicker direction to a flicker source with respect to a monitoring point. In our proposed method, using continuous Gaussian wavelet transform, pure flicker waveforms are extracted from the measured voltage and current signals. The flicker...

Identification of Chirps with Continuous Wavelet Transform

Chirps are signals (or sums of signals) that may be characterized by a local (i.e. time-dependent) amplitude and a local frequency. Time-frequency representations such as wavelet representations are well adapted to the characterization problem of such chirps. Ridges in the modulus of the transform determine regions in the transform domain with a high concentration of energy, and are regarded as...

Interpretation of Gravity Data Using Wavelet Transform

Various techniques have been developed to interpret potential field data which are broadly categorized as: Forward and Inverse modeling (Blakely, 1995). Ambiguity in identification and characterization of the sources from the potential field data makes formulation of initial model a critical step while analyzing the data. The second category of techniques (inversion) shows many constraints such...

modal coefficients identification using wavelet transform

identification of damping parameter is usually more complicated and unreliable comparing to mass or stiffness identification in structural dynamics. there are many factors such as intermolecular friction, coulomb friction and viscous damping affecting the damping mechanisms in a structure. therefore it is difficult, and in some cases impossible, to describe the details of damping mechanisms by ...

Crop Identification Using Gabor Wavelet Transform

This paper illustrates the use of Gabor wavelet transform on satellite images to classify the land in to crop land and noncrop land and to classify different crops. The input image is enhanced first using Colour Space Transform and Discrete Cosine Transform, and then a filter bank consisting of Gabor wavelets is used to extract texture features from the satellite image. The feature formation pr...
