In Geopsy, a Wavelet transform can be either applied at a single frequency using the Waveform menu or on a broad frequency range using the Time Frequency Analysis toolbox.
When reached through the Waveform menu Wavelet transform modifies the temporary signals in the active viewer.. The parameters requested for the Wavelet transform are:
- m, the parameter of the wavelet. It allows trade between time and frequency resolutions. The default value for m is 10.
- fi , the wavelet central frequency in Hertz, i.e. the analyzed frequency. This parameter is not used in the TFA toolbox.
The wavelet box also displays the time resolution DT (in seconds) and the frequency resolution DF (in Hertz) of the Wavelet. In the TFA toolbox, providing the analyzed frequency only allows to compute these time and frequency resolutions for various frequency before the computing starts.
The Wavelet transform multiplies in the frequency domain the signals with a Modified Morlet wavelet of central frequency fi and parameter m to the signal: , with . Applying a Wavelet transform at a given frequency fi allows to analyze in time the energy of the signal at that frequency. Moreover, the TFA toolbox applies the Wavelet transform at each frequency to provide a time-frequency plot that distributes the energy of the signal in the time-frequency plane.
