This invention pertains to the extraction of the slowness dispersion characteristics of acoustic waves received by an array of two or more sensors by the application of a continuous wavelet transform on the received array waveforms (data). This produces a time-frequency map of the data for each sensor that facilitates the separation of the propagating components thereon. Two different methods are described to achieve the dispersion extraction by exploiting the time frequency localization of the propagating mode and the continuity of the dispersion curve as a function of frequency. The first method uses some features on the modulus map such as the peak to determine the time locus of the energy of each mode as a function of frequency. The second method uses a new modified Radon transform applied to the coefficients of the time frequency representation of the waveform traces received by the aforementioned sensors. Both methods are appropriate for automated extraction of the dispersion estimates from the data without the need for expert user input or supervision

A method and system for detecting effort events is disclosed. Effort may be determined through feature analysis of the signal as transformed by a continuous wavelet transform, which may be compared against a reference effort measure to trigger an effort event flag that signals the onset and/or severity of an effort event. For example, a respiratory effort measure may be determined based at least in part on a wavelet transform of a photoplethysmograph (PP G) signal and features of the transformed signal. A respiratory reference effort measure may be based at least in part on past values of the respiratory effort measure, and a threshold test may be used to trigger an effort event flag, which may indicate a marked change in respiratory effort exerted by a patient.

An inversion-based algorithm for computing the time frequency analysis of reflection seismograms using constrained least-squares spectral analysis is formulated and applied to modeled seismic waveforms and real seismic data. The Fourier series coefficients are computed as a function of time directly by inverting a basis of truncated sinusoidal kernels for a moving time window. Spectra may be provided that have reduced window smearing for a given window length relative to the discrete Fourier transform irrespective of window shape, and a time-frequency analysis with a combination of time and frequency resolution that is superior to the short time Fourier transform and the continuous wavelet transform. The reduction in spectral smoothing enables enhanced determination of spectral characteristics of interfering reflections within a short window. The degree of resolution improvement relative to the short time Fourier transform increases as window length decreases.

Slowness dispersion characteristics of multiple possibly interfering signals in broadband acoustic waves as received by an array of two or more sensors are extracted without using a physical model. The problem of dispersion extraction is mapped to the problem of reconstructing signals having a sparse representation in an appropriately chosen over-complete dictionary of basis elements. A sparsity penalized signal reconstruction algorithm is described where the sparsity constraints are implemented by imposing a l₁ norm type penalty. The candidate modes that are extracted are consolidated by means of a clustering algorithm to extract phase and group slowness estimates at a number of frequencies which are then used to reconstruct the desired dispersion curves. These estimates can be further refined by building time domain propagators when signals are known to be time compact, such as by using the continuous wavelet transform.
