hello
I am a student of electronic engineering.I have been give project on the relationship or application of digital signal processing and seismology and how we can use matlab in this respect.please provide me with some information on this project.

Signal processing in seismology: There was a special issue of
Proceedings of the IEEE some time in 1984 - I *think* it was
september or october.

Matlab? Forget it. Seismology is one of the really heavy
computational applications, where every drop of performance
matters. You can use matlab to play with the algorithms,
but once the going gets tough you need to throw it away.

I haven't looked at it, but this link provides a book on numerical methods in exploration seismology in Matlab.

Yes, I hear that seismology often has huge data sets that dwarf my
puny 20 GB CT images. I hear their images their data sets can be up
to 10 terabytes!

There is a 3D visualization and measurement program designed to work
with them. It's called Avizo Earth:
http://www.vsg3d.com/vsg_prod_avizo_earth.php

There used to be a product that worked with MATLAB and claimed to be
able to handle huge terabyte datasets. It was called Star-P. But the
company (interactive supercomputing) was acquired by Microsoft -
http://www.microsoft.com/pathways/star-p/
But it appears to me (http://www.microsoft.com/pathways/star-p/
FAQ.htm) that they just bought the people and brains because they
decided to kill off Star-P. Bummer - we have a license :-(

But there's probably still stuff you can learn if you use small
datasets. Ask your project sponsor for some small datasets you can
practice with, and follow up on the links the others gave you and do
some web searches of the internet and the Mathworks File Exchange.

.... and code the algorithm in a language designed for numeric
performance, such as Fortran.
