Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel seismic time-frequency analysis method via the time-reassigned synchrosqueezing transform (TSST), in which the time-frequency coefficients are reassigned in the time direction rather than in the frequency direction as the short-time Fourier-based synchrosqueezing transform (FSST) does. Such a technique can not only produce a highly concentrated time-frequency representation (TFR) for a wide variety of strongly frequency modulated signal, but also allow for the reconstruction of the modes with a high accuracy. Numerical experiments on synthetic signal and field data demonstrate the effectiveness of this new method, and show that the proposed method is more suitable for extracting seismic time-frequency feature and identifying the thin layers compared with the traditional FSST, which offers the potential in highlighting subtle geological structures.

Highlights

  • Extracting useful information from large amounts of recorded data is important for a large number of real-world applications [1]–[3]

  • We proposed a new seismic Time-frequency analysis (TFA) method based on the timereassigned synchrosqueezing transform (TSST), in which the reassignment operation is implemented in the time direction [31], rather than frequency direction as the synchrosqueezing transform (SST) and Fourier-based synchrosqueezing transform (FSST) do

  • The contributions of the paper can be summarized as below: (1) we first investigate the time-reassigned property of TSST and achieve seismic time-frequency feature extraction via the TSST, (2) our method shows the excellent potential in subtle geological structures characterization compared to the conventional short-time Fourier transform (STFT) and FSST approaches

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Extracting useful information from large amounts of recorded data is important for a large number of real-world applications [1]–[3]. We proposed a new seismic TFA method based on the TSST, in which the reassignment operation is implemented in the time direction [31], rather than frequency direction as the SST and FSST do. This results in the perfect energy concentration on the TFR for the signal with fast varying IF. The σ is often related with the time-frequency energy concentration, while the γ controls the computation accuracy with mode retrieval It could result in a blurred TFR and the inaccurate signal reconstruction if the parameters are not appropriately selected. The σ and γ can be obtained by several trials
