Characterization and modelling of oil reservoirs and groundwater aquifers: application of Wavelet Transformations

摘要

We describe wavelet transformations (STs) and their basic properties, and discuss their application to analysis of complex and noisy data. These transformations are a powerful tool for data and image analysis by (1) pro- viding a flexible spatial- and/or time-scale window which narrows when one focusses on small-scale features and widens when one wishes to analyze large scale features, and (2) providing the capability for analyzing special char- acteristics of a set of data or images around specific points.
