The spectral decomposition technique plays an important role in reservoir characterization, for which the time-frequency distribution method is essential. The deconvolutive short-time Fourier transform (DSTFT) method achieves a superior time-frequency resolution by applying a 2D deconvolution operation on the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) spectrogram. For seismic spectral decomposition, to reduce the computation burden caused by the 2D deconvolution operation in the DSTFT, the 2D STFT spectrogram is cropped into a smaller area, which includes the positive frequencies fallen in the seismic signal bandwidth only. In general, because the low-frequency components of a seismic signal are dominant, the removal of the negative frequencies may introduce a sharp edge at the zero frequency, which would produce artifacts in the DSTFT spectrogram. To avoid this problem, we used the analytic signal, which is obtained by applying the Hilbert transform on the original real seismic signal, to calculate the STFT spectrogram in our method. Synthetic and real seismic data examples were evaluated to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.

In this paper, we report the condition to keep the optimal time-frequency resolution of the Gaussian window in the numerical implementation of the short-time Fourier transform. Because of truncation and discretization, the time-frequency resolution of the discrete Gaussian window is different from that of the proper Gaussian function. We compared the time-frequency resolution performance of the discrete Gaussian window and Hanning window based on that they have the same continuous-time domain standard deviation, and generalized the condition under which the time-frequency resolution of the Gaussian window will prevail over that of the Hanning window.

Good Time Resolution

The short-time Fourier transform has the disadvantage that is does not localize time and frequency phenomena very well. Instead the time-frequency information is scattered which depends on the length of the window. It is not possible to have arbitrarily good time resolution simultaneously with good frequency resolution. In this paper, a new method that uses the short-time Fourier transform based on multi-window functions to enhance time-frequency resolution of signals has been proposed. Simulation and experimental results present the high performance of the proposed method.

This paper deals with the new time-frequency Short-Time Approximated Discrete Zolotarev Transform (STADZT), which is based on symmetrical Zolotarev polynomials. Due to the special properties of these polynomials, STADZT can be used for spectral analysis of stationary and non-stationary signals with the better time and frequency resolution than the widely used Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT). This paper describes the parameters of STADZT that have the main influence on its properties and behaviour. The selected parameters include the shape and length of the segmentation window, and the segmentation overlap. Because STADZT is very similar to STFT, the paper includes a comparison of the spectral analysis of a non-stationary signal created by STADZT and by STFT with various settings of the parameters.

The short-time Fourier transform (STFT) is a classical tool, used for characterizing the time varying signals. The limitation of the STFT is its fixed time-frequency resolution. Thus, an enhanced version of the STFT, which is based on the cross-level sampling, is devised. It can adapt the sampling frequency and the window function length by following the input signal local characteristics. Therefore, it provides an adaptive resolution time-frequency representation of the input signal. The computational complexity of the proposed STFT is deduced and compared to the classical one. The results show a significant gain of the computational efficiency and hence of the processing power.

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 frequency‐time (FT) space is provided by the sliding window (short time) Fourier transform, although this method suffers from the time‐ frequency resolution limitation. Recently developed transforms based on the new mathematical field of wavelet analysis bypass this resolution limitation and offer superior spectral decomposition. The continuous wavelet transform with its scale‐translation plane is conceptually best understood when contrasted to a short time Fourier transform. The discrete wavelet transform and matching pursuit algorithm are alternative wavelet transforms that map a seismogram into FT space. Decomposition into FT space of synthetic and calibrated explosive‐source seismic data suggest that the matching pursuit algorithm provides excellent spectral localization, and reflections, direct and surface waves, and artifact energy are clearly identifiable. Wavelet‐based transformations offer new opportunities for improved processing algorithms and spectral interpretation methods.

The spectral decomposition is one of the advanced interpretation techniques such as seismic inversion, amplitude versus offset analysis, and seismic attribute that helpful in direct interpretative approach in seismic exploration. This technique is a transformation algorithm, thus a signal can be transformed into its varying frequency contained in the seismic signal. There are a variety of spectral decomposition algorithms in the decomposing seismic signal from time domain into frequency domain. These algorithms include Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) and Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT). The STFT algorithm is a conventional and simple technique for computing a time-frequency spectrum, which is based on the application of Fourier transform. However, the STFT algorithm has a problem related to the frequency resolution. In its implementation, this algorithm is limited by predefi ned window length. In contrast, the CWT algorithm is believed to be able to overcome the limitation of window length. The CWT threats wavelet at certain window length, which is defi ned by the characteristics of the wavelet. In this study, the comparison between spectral decomposition technique based on STFT and CWT method was performed, particularly in its application to the synthetic and real data set. Each algorithm has its own advantages and disadvantages in decomposing the seismic signal. Further, this analysis can be used as a reference to select one of two algorithms for the specifi c application. The synthetic data set application shows that CWT algorithm produces better frequency resolution compared to STFT algorithm. In addition, the real data set application shows that time frequency section of the seismic line provides a spectral feature, which is useful to identify the hydrocarbon reservoir, which is associated with low-frequency shadow zone.

The focused signal obtained by the time-reversal or the cross-correlation techniques of ultrasonic guided waves in plates changes when the medium is subject to strain, which can be used to monitor the medium strain level. In this paper, the sensitivity to strain of cross-correlated signals is enhanced by a post-processing filtering procedure aiming to preserve only strain-sensitive spectrum components. Two different strategies were adopted, based on the phase of either the Fourier transform or the short-time Fourier transform. Both use prior knowledge of the system impulse response at some strain level. The technique was evaluated in an aluminum plate, effectively providing up to twice higher sensitivity to strain. The sensitivity increase depends on a phase threshold parameter used in the filtering process. Its performance was assessed based on the sensitivity gain, the loss of energy concentration capability, and the value of the foreknown strain. Signals synthesized with the time–frequency representation, through the short-time Fourier transform, provided a better tradeoff between sensitivity gain and loss of energy concentration.

Ultrasonic non-destructive analysis is a promising and effective method for the inspection of protective coating materials. Offshore coating exhibits a high attenuation rate of ultrasonic energy due to the absorption and ultrasonic pulse echo testing becomes difficult due to the small amplitude of the second echo from the back wall of the coating layer. In order to address these problems, an advanced ultrasonic signal analysis has been proposed. An ultrasonic delay line was applied due to the high attenuation of the coating layer. A short-time Fourier transform (STFT) of the waveform was implemented to measure the thickness and state of bonding of coating materials. The thickness of the coating material was estimated by the projection of the STFT into the time-domain. The bonding and debonding of the coating layers were distinguished using the ratio of the STFT magnitude peaks of the two subsequent wave echoes. In addition, the advantage of the STFT-based approach is that it can accurately and quickly estimate the time of flight (TOF) of a signal even at low signal-to-noise ratios. Finally, a convolutional neural network (CNN) was applied to automatically determine the bonding state of the coatings. The time–frequency representation of the waveform was used as the input to the CNN. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method automatically determines the bonding state of the coatings with high accuracy. The present approach is more efficient compared to the method of estimating bonding state using attenuation.
