Seismic Signal Decomposition Using Blind Source Separation

Three-component seismic traces separated by BSS into P-like, S-like, and residual components

We investigate blind source separation of multicomponent seismic recordings to analyze overlapping wavefield components. Using the time-frequency and polarization structure of three-component observations, we explore how different arrivals and residual contributions can be distinguished.
