This was achieved by studying the signal simultaneously in both the time and frequency domains with the assistance of time-frequency plots generated by continuous wavelet transformation (CWT). The study also investigated the effects of different types of wavelets on CWT and developed a protocol for processing seismic wave data for void detection. For this purpose a numerical and experimental study was conducted and the data was studied in both the time and frequency domains in conjunction with time-frequency plots. The response of the soil media is presented in the time-frequency plots. The presence of void like anomalies disrupts the time-frequency plot features and introduces new features. These features have been used for cavity detection.}, number={1}, journal={Global Journal of Earth Science and Engineering}, author={A. Srivastava and J. A. Laman and A.
