Data filtering in geophysics

• Data filtering in geophysics is the process of removing unwanted signals or noise from
geophysical data to enhance the quality and accuracy of the data. The goal of filtering is to
separate the signal of interest from the noise and other unwanted signals.
• Types of filters used in geophysics:
• 1. Low-pass filters: Allow low frequencies to pass through while attenuating high frequencies.
• 2. High-pass filters: Allow high frequencies to pass through while attenuating low frequencies.
• 3. Band-pass filters: Allow a specific range of frequencies to pass through while attenuating all
other frequencies.
• 4. Notch filters: Remove a specific frequency or range of frequencies.
• 5. Wiener filters: Adaptive filters that adjust to the noise and signal characteristics.
• 6. Kalman filters: Mathematical filters that use a combination of prediction and correction to
estimate the signal.
•
Filtering techniques:

Geophysical data digitization

digital format for analysis, storage, and interpretation. This process involves:
• 1. Scanning or digitizing paper records, such as seismic sections, gravity and magnetic
maps, and well logs.
• 2. Converting analog data from older geophysical instruments, like seismic and gravity
meters, into digital format.
• 3. Importing data from external sources, such as databases or online repositories.
• 4. Editing and quality control to ensure accuracy and consistency.

• Note that the specific digitization method and software used may
depend on the type and volume of data, as well as the desired
level of accuracy and precision.
Sampling frequency

• Sampling frequency, also known as sampling rate, is the number of

samples or measurements taken per unit of time from a continuous
signal. In geophysics, sampling frequency is crucial for capturing the
desired information from the data.
• Common sampling frequencies in geophysics:
• 1. Seismic data: 1-10 kHz (kilohertz)
• 2. Gravity and magnetic data: 1-100 Hz (hertz)
• 3. Electromagnetic data: 1-100 kHz
• 4. Ground-penetrating radar data: 1-100 MHz (megahertz)
• Factors affecting sampling frequency:
• 1. Signal frequency content
• 2. Desired resolution
• 3. Instrument limitations
• 4. Data storage and processing constraints
Nyquist sampling theorem:

• To avoid aliasing and accurately capture the signal, the sampling frequency must be at
least twice the highest frequency component of the signal.

• Example: If the signal has a frequency component of 100 Hz, the sampling frequency
should be at least 200 Hz.

• Sampling frequency and data quality:

• 1. Higher sampling frequencies can provide more detailed information and better
resolution.

• 2. Lower sampling frequencies can lead to aliasing and loss of information.

• It is essential to choose the appropriate sampling frequency based on the specific

geophysical application and data requirements to ensure accurate and reliable results.
Nyquist frequency
• The Nyquist frequency is the maximum frequency component of a signal that can be
accurately captured and reconstructed from a discrete set of samples.

• It is defined as half of the sampling frequency (fs) and is denoted by the symbol fn.

• fn = fs/2

• For example, if the sampling frequency is 1000 Hz, the Nyquist frequency would be:

• fn = 1000/2 = 500 Hz

• This means that any frequency components above 500 Hz will be aliased and appear as
lower frequencies in the sampled signal.

• The Nyquist frequency is a critical concept in digital signal processing and is used to
determine the minimum sampling rate required to accurately capture a signal without
aliasing.
What is aliasing?

• Aliasing is a phenomenon in digital signal processing where a high-frequency component of a

signal is incorrectly interpreted as a lower-frequency component due to inadequate sampling.

• This occurs when the sampling rate is less than twice the highest frequency component of the
signal, violating the Nyquist sampling theorem.

• Aliasing results in:

• 1. Distortion: High-frequency components are folded back into the lower-frequency range,
causing distortion and error.

• 2. Inaccurate representation: The sampled signal no longer accurately represents the original
continuous signal.

• 3. Loss of information: High-frequency information is lost, and the signal appears less detailed
or less accurate.
Examples of aliasing:
• 1. Seismic data: High-frequency seismic signals may be aliased as lower-frequency noise.

• 2. Audio signals: High-frequency audio components may be aliased as lower-frequency distortion.

• 3. Image sampling: High-frequency image components may be aliased as moiré patterns or

distortion.

• To avoid aliasing:

• 1. Increase the sampling rate to at least twice the highest frequency component of the signal.

• 2. Use anti-aliasing filters to remove high-frequency components before sampling.

• 3. Use oversampling and decimation techniques to reduce aliasing.

• Remember, aliasing can lead to inaccurate and distorted representations of signals, so it's essential
to consider the sampling rate and potential aliasing effects when working with digital signals.
Waveform processing

Dynamic range formula

• The dynamic range (DR) of a signal or system is typically calculated using the following formula:

• DR = 20 × log10 (Maximum Value / Minimum Value)

• Where:

• - Maximum Value is the largest value in the signal or system

• - Minimum Value is the smallest value in the signal or system

• This formula calculates the ratio of the maximum value to the minimum value in decibels (dB). A
higher dynamic range indicates a greater range of values, while a lower dynamic range indicates
a more limited range of values.

• For example, if the maximum value is 100 and the minimum value is 1, the dynamic range would
be:
