SYNOPSIS

SEISMIC UNIX NOTES SUCWT - generates Continous Wavelet Transform amplitude, regularity

         analysis in the wavelet basis					



     sucwt < stdin [Optional parameters ] > stdout			



 Required Parameters:							

 none									



 Optional Parameters:							

 base=10	Base value for wavelet transform scales			

 first=-1	First exponent value for wavelet transform scales	

 expinc=0.01	Exponent increment for wavelet transform scales		

 last=1.5	Last exponent value for wavelet transform scales	



 Wavelet Parameters:							

 wtype=0		2nd derivative of Gaussian (Mexican hat)	

			=1 4th derivative of Gaussian (witch's hat)	

			=2 6th derivative of Gaussian (wizard's hat)	

 nwavelet=1024		number of samples in the wavelet		

 xmin=-20		minimum x value wavelet is computed		

 xcenter=0		center x value  wavelet is computed 		

 xmax=20		maximum x value wavelet is computed		

 sigma=1		sharpness parameter ( sigma > 1 sharper)	



 verbose=0		silent, =1 chatty				

 holder=0		=1 compute Holder regularity estimate		

 divisor=1.0		a floating point number >= 1.0 (see notes)	



 Notes: 								

 This is the CWT version of the time frequency analysis notion that is 

 applied in sugabor.							

 The parameter base is the base of the power that is applied to scale	

 the wavelet. Some mathematical literature assume base 2. Base 10 works

 well here.								



 Default option yields an output similar to that of sugabor. With the  

 parameter holder=1 an estimate of the instantaneous Holder regularity 

 (the Holder exponent) is output for each input data value. The result 

 is a Holder exponent trace for each corresponding input data trace.	



 The strict definition of the Holder exponent is the maximum slope of  

 the rise of the spectrum in the log(amplitude) versus log(scale) domain:



 divisor=1.0 means the exponent is computed simply by fitting a line   

 through all of the values in the transform. A value of divisor>1.0    

 indicates that the Holder exponent is determined as the max of slopes 

 found in (total scales)/divisor length segments.			



 Some experimentation with the parameters nwavelet, first, last, and   

 expinc may be necessary before a desirable output is obtained. The	

 most effective way to proceed is to perform a number of tests with    

 holder=0 to determine the range of first, last, and expinc that best  

 represents the data in the wavelet domain. Then experimentation with  

 holder=1 and values of divisor>=1.0 may proceed.
