Inversion-Based Fourier Transform as a New Tool for Noise Rejection
In this study, a new inversion method is presented for performing two-dimensional (2D) Fourier transform. The discretization of the continuous Fourier spectra is given by a series expansion with the scaled Hermite functions as square-integrable set of basis functions. The expansion coefficients are determined by solving an overdetermined inverse problem. In order to define a quick algorithm in calculating the Jacobian matrix of the problem, the special feature that the Hermite functions are eigenfunctions of the Fourier transformation is used. In the field of inverse problem theory, there are numerous procedures for noise rejection, so if the Fourier transformation is formulated as an inverse problem, these tools can be used to reduce the noise sensitivity. It was demonstrated in many case studies that the use of Cauchy-Steiner weights could increase the noise rejection capability of geophysical inversion methods. Following this idea, the two-dimensional Fourier transform is formulated as an iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) problem using Cauchy-Steiner weights. The new procedure is numerically tested using synthetic data.
