Abstract In the magnetotelluric (MT) method, the responses of the natural electromagnetic fields are evaluated by transforming time-series data into spectral data and calculating the apparent resistivity and phase. The continuous wavelet transform (CWT) can be an alternative to the short-time Fourier transform, and the applicability of CWT to MT data has been reported. There are, however, few cases of considering the effect of numerical errors derived from spectral transform on MT data processing. In general, it is desirable to adopt a window function narrow in the time domain for higher-frequency components and one in the frequency domain for lower-frequency components. In conducting the short-time Fourier transform, because the size of the window function is fixed unless the time-series data are decimated, there might be difference between the calculated MT responses and the true ones due to the numerical errors. Meanwhile, CWT can strike a balance between the resolution of the time and frequency domains by magnifying or reducing the wavelet, according to the value of frequency. Although the types of wavelet functions and their parameters influence the resolution of time and frequency, those calculation settings of CWT are often determined empirically. In this study, focusing on the frequency band between 0.001 Hz and 10 Hz, we demonstrated the superiority of utilizing CWT in MT data processing and determined its proper calculation settings in terms of restraining the numerical errors caused by the spectral transform of time-series data. The results obtained with the short-time Fourier transform accompanied with gradual decimation of the time-series data, called cascade decimation, were compared with those of CWT. The shape of the wavelet was changed by using different types of wavelet functions or their parameters, and the respective results of data processing were compared. Through these experiments, this study indicates that CWT with the complex Morlet function with its wavelet parameter k set to 6 ≤ k < 10 will be effective in restraining the numerical errors caused by the spectral transform.

Abstract. An earthquake is one of the most destructive natural disasters that can occur, often killing many people and causing large material losses. Hence, the ability to predict earthquakes may reduce the catastrophic effects caused by this phenomenon. The geoelectric field is a feature that can be used to predict earthquakes (EQs) because of significant changes in the amplitude of the signal prior to an earthquake. This paper presents a detailed analysis of geoelectric field signals of earthquakes which occurred in 2008 in Greece. In 2008, 12 earthquakes occurred in Greece. Five of them were recorded with magnitudes greater than Ms = 5R (5R), while seven of them were recorded with magnitudes greater than Ms = 6R (6R). In the analysis, the 1st significant changes of the geoelectric field signal are detected. Then, the signal is segmented and windowed. The adaptive short-time Fourier transform (adaptive STFT) technique is then applied to the windowed signal, and the spectral analysis is performed thereafter. The results show that the 1st significant changes of the geoelectric field prior to an earthquake have a significant amplitude frequency spectrum compared to other conditions, i.e. normal days and the day of the earthquake, which can be used as input parameters for earthquake prediction.

<p>Thin Bed Identification is still a difficult task even with the advanced technology of seismic acquisition. Certain high frequency component is necessary and could be obtained through resolution enhancement. Short – Time Fourier Transform Half Cepstrum (STFTHC) is performed to enhance seismic resolution thus a better separation of thin bed could be improved. Basic principal of STFTHC is to replace the frequency spectrum by its logarithm while phase spectrum remains the same. Synthetic seismic was built based on Ricker and Rayleigh criterion. They were used to test the program yielding a better separation of two interfaces under tuning thickness without creating new artifacts. The algorithm was applied to seismic data from TG field. Using post-STFTHC seismic data as input of acoustic impedance inversion, well tie correlation increases by 10% and decreases inversion analysis error by 17,5%. Several thin bed -which once could not- could be identified on acoustic impedance result.</p>

The short-time Fourier transform- (STFT-) based algorithm was suggested to distinguish falls from various activities of daily living (ADLs). Forty male subjects volunteered in the experiments including three types of falls and four types of ADLs. An inertia sensor unit attached to the middle of two anterior superior iliac spines was used to measure the 3-axis accelerations at 100 Hz. The measured accelerations were transformed to signal vector magnitude values to be analyzed using STFT. The powers of low frequency components were extracted, and the fall detection was defined as whether the normalized power was less than the threshold (50% of the normal power). Most power was observed at the frequency band lower than 5 Hz in all activities, but the dramatic changes in the power were found only in falls. The specificity of 1–3 Hz frequency components was the best (100%), but the sensitivity was much smaller compared with 4 Hz component. The 4 Hz component showed the best fall detection with 96.9% sensitivity and 97.1% specificity. We believe that the suggested algorithm based on STFT would be useful in the fall detection and the classification from ADLs as well.

Sensitivity Gain

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.
