English term or phrase: Focusing Transformation
Hi all,

I am translating a geological documentation and came across this term but can't find a French equivalent anywhere...

The sentence is

SE waves are identified in the measured seismic wave field by applying the proprietary Focusing Transformation, which helps locate emission centers where open fractures are formed.

My attempt

Les ondes ES (à émission sismique) sont identifiées dans le champ d'ondes sismiques mesuré en appliquant la ??????? exclusive, ce qui permet de localiser les centres d'émission où les fractures ouvertes sont formées.

French translation:Focusing Transformation
Explanation:
Je pense qu'il s'agit d'un logiciel ou d'une technique d'analyse des ondes sismiques (à cause des majuscules, du terme 'proprietary' qui indique une marque déposée et des références ci-dessous, qui parlent de FT comme d'un outil/d'algorithmes proposés par Slionkin) - je laisserais donc l'expression telle quelle.

Example sentence(s):
  • To study such low-energy waves (determine their amplitude and generation locations) the Focusing Transformation (SFT) of seismic wavefield has been introduced by Slionkin [1].
  • Among benefits of SLEC technology are its surface based observation system and the use of Slionkin Focusing Transformation algorithms allowing to focus SLEC locator to any points of a geological formation (within the range of a few kilometers), thus allo
