“…By adopting the progressive resolution of wavelets, the Stockwell transform is able to resolve a wider range of frequencies than the ordinary STFT and by using a Fourier-like basis and maintaining a phase of zero about the time t = 0, Fourier-based analysis could be performed locally. This unique feature of the Stockwell transform makes it a highly valuable tool for signal processing and is one of the hottest research areas of the contemporary era [52,40,41,45,46,51]. We note that this transform has been successfully used to analyse signals in numerous applications, such as seismic recordings, ground vibrations, geophysics, medical imaging, hydrology, gravitational waves, power system analysis and many other areas.…”
