Motivation Analyzing the time-frequency features of seismic traces plays an important role in seismic stratigraphy analysis and hydrocarbons detection. The current popular timespectrum analysis methods include 3 - 20 • Short time Fourier transform (STFT) • Continuous wavelet transform (CWT) • S-transform (ST) • Matching pursuit (PM)
Motivation The matching pursuit algorithm can be categorized into two types: • The “greedy” MP • Instantaneous attributes based MP The figure on the right is a widely used workflow of decomposition matching for pursuit time-frequency analysis of seismic traces (Liu and Marfurt, 2007). 4 - 20

Motivation Suppose that seismic wavelet is stationary in the certain short time window, we propose to decompose the seismic trace waveform by waveform, instead of decomposing the wavelet by wavelet.

Basis pursuit matching pursuit A flowchart for a wavelet-based spectral-decomposition algorithm using a modified matching pursuit technique named basis pursuit matching pursuit (BPMP). BPMP decompose waveform the by seismic waveform. traces The inverted reflectivity model can be directly used for the thickness estimation of thin bed and channels. 12 - 20
Dipole-based matching pursuit The second solution of considering the interfering is to build a dipole wavelet library. The dipole wavelet library is convolution result of dipole pair and wavelets. Original reflection coefficient pair 13 - 20 = a *Even pair + b*Odd pair
Dipole-based matching pursuit The even and odd wedge model and their seismic responses for a wavelet. The size of the new wave library is much larger than that of conventional MP 14 - 20
Dipole-based matching pursuit A flowchart for a wavelet-based spectral-decomposition algorithm using a modified matching pursuit technique named dipole based (DBMP). DBMP decomposes the seismic traces waveform by waveform. The inverted reflectivity model can be directly used for the thickness estimation of thin bed and channels. 15 - 20
Synthetic test We first test the algorithm on the synthetic generated using the same wavelet. The time intervals of the second, third, and fourth reflection pair are 10 ms, 20 ms, and 40 ms. The source wavelet is 40 Hz Ricker wavelet with zero phase and 200 ms length. Convolution Time (s) 0 0. 4 0. 8 -2 16 - 20 0 Magnitude 2
Synthetic test The time-frequency decomposed results of synthetic trace using MP, BPMP, and DBMP are Synthetic MP Time (s) 0 0. 4 0. 8 -2 17 - 20 0 Magnitu 2 BPMP DBMP

Synthetic test We second the algorithm on the synthetic generated using the multiple wavelet. The time intervals is the same as that of the first model. The source wavelet is Ricker wavelet with zero phase. The center frequency pair are 40 Hz, (40, 38) Hz, and (35, 30) Hz. 40 Hz 38 Hz 40 Hz 35 Hz 30 Hz 19 - 20 Convolution
Synthetic test The time-frequency decomposed results of synthetic trace using MP, BPMP, and DBMP are Synthetic 20 - 20 MP BPMP DBMP
Synthetic test The inverted scalar/reflectivity corresponding to time-frequency decomposed results are Original RC 21 - 20 MP BPMP DBMP
Conclusions The proposed modified matching pursuit algorithms own the following the advantages when compared to matching pursuit • The inverted reflectivity has higher correlation with the original model • The time-frequency features has higher correlation with the amplitude spectrum of original wavelets. • The computation cost of proposed algorithms is much higher than the instantaneous frequency based MP but is comparable to the greedy MP. 22 - 20
