Instantaneous

Name

Instantaneous -- Attribute that returns an instantaneous attribute

Description

The imaginary part of the complex trace is computed via the Hilbert transform. Possible outputs are:



Amplitude

Outputs the instantaneous amplitude (or envelope) of the selected data volume at the sample location.

Phase

Calculates the instantaneous phase at the sample location.

Frequency

Outputs the instantaneous frequency at the sample location.

Hilbert

Imaginary part of the complex trace.

Amplitude 1st derivative

Time derivative of the instantaneous amplitude. Used to detect sharp interfaces and discontinuities.

Amplitude 2nd derivative

Second derivative of the envelope. Used to define the sharpness of amplitude peak.

Cosine phase

Cosine of the instantaneous phase, also called normalized amplitude.

Envelope weighted phase

Instantaneous phase, weighted by the envelope over the given timewindow.

Envelope weighted frequency

Instantaneous frequency, weighted by the envelope over the given timewindow.

Phase acceleration

Time derivative of the instantaneous frequency.

Thin bed indicator

Difference between instantaneous frequency and Envelope weighted frequency

Bandwidth

The absolute value of the envelope time derivative

Q factor

Instantaneous frequency divided by the bandwidth
