Singularity characterization by monoscale analysis: Application to seismic imaging (Q5946556)

The author offers a new method to treat seismological information, which provides a local estimate from information, essentially residing only on a single scale. Using this method the exponents are no longer calculated from the decay or growth rate of the wavelet coefficients. He establishes a direct link between the wavelet transform and seismic reflectivity, introduces a new measure, which expresses the local order of magnitude for variations in both the medium and wavelet and presents a monoscale analysis method, based on fractional order wavelets, which estimates singularity orders at a fixed scale.
