Estimating depth and model type using the continuous wavelet transform of magnetic dataWavelet Transform Magnetic Interpretation

The continuous wavelet transform has been proposed recently for the interpretation of potential field anomalies. Using Poisson wavelets, which are equivalent to an upward continuation of the analytic signal, this technique allows one to estimate the depth of burial of homogeneous field sources and to determine the nature of the source in the form of a structural index. Moreau et al. (1999) accomplish this by successively testing the …
