Reflection patterns play an important role in seismic sequence stratigraphy, therefore making their quantitative description essential for the construction and validation of sequence stratigraphic models from seismic data. The characteristics of a seismic reflection pattern can be elicited from the data by representing the data as a joint function ...

In this paper we discuss the use of a time-frequency representation, the Wigner distribution, for the decomposition and characterization of seismic signals. The advantage of the Wigner distribution over other representations, such as the wavelet and sliding window Fourier transform, is its sharp localization properties in the time-frequency plane. ...

In this chapter, we overview a number of applications of time-frequency representations in seismic data processing, from the analysis of seismic sequences to efficient attribute extraction to 3-D attributes for volumetric data.
