The time-frequency spectrum of an attenuated seismic wave rotates due to the influence of intrinsic quality factor. Traditional time-frequency analysis methods are either limited by time-frequency resolution or incapable of rotated time-frequency representation. To solve it, a matching pursuit (MP) method based on the rotated time-frequency atomic dictionary (MPFR) was proposed. By introducing a frequency rotation factor to the four-parameter dictionary in the conventional MP method, a

We tested the method on the synthetic traces and field data sets. The results showed that the proposed method can effectively realize rotated time-frequency characterization of attenuated seismic waves. Compared with the conventional atoms, the rotated time-frequency atoms are more compliant to the local features of non-stationary seismic data. Moreover, the effective description of rotated time-frequency characteristics can be used as an auxiliary technique to predict the reservoirs related to the attenuation. A care has to be taken when thin layers are encountered, since wavelet interference may cause rotated time-frequency characteristics independent of dispersion and attenuation in MPFR method.
