The seislet transform and seislet frames

Workshop 8 The seislet transform and seislet frames Sergey Fomel (University of Texas at Austin) SUMMARY____________________________________________________________ I introduce the seislet transform: a digital wavelet-like transform tailored specifically for representing seismic data. The transform provides a multiscale orthogonal basis with basis functions aligned along seismic event slopes in the input data. In the case of multiple conflicting slopes the basis decomposition can be replaced with a frame composed of different bases. I define seislets with the help of the wavelet lifting scheme combined with local plane-wave destruction. The main objective is an optimal seismic data compression for designing efficient algorithms.
