Abstract: The present invention relates generally to method of seismic data processing which provides a superior method of removing or attenuating some forms of seismic noise and can also be used as a basis for seismic attribute analysis and automatic trace editing. In particular, the present invention is directed toward the application of a Very Short-Time Fourier Transform (VSTFT) to seismic data, coupled with a novel approach to organizing and/or displaying the transformed data, so as to provide highly localized frequency analyses of seismic reflection events. The present invention utilizes a very great number of short overlapping Fourier transform windows, together with a Gaussian weight or taper function, to produce a plurality of near single-frequency "sub-band" traces for each seismic trace so analyzed. Although the present invention can be applied to a single seismic trace, it is preferably applied to a collection of seismic traces that are spatially related.
