Recognition and reconstruction of coherent energy with application to deep seismic reflection data
Reflections in deep seismic reflection data tend to be
visible on only a limited number of traces in a common
midpoint gather. To prevent stack degeneration,
any noncoherent reflection energy has to be removed.
In this paper, a standard classification technique in
remote sensing is presented to enhance data quality. It
consists of a recognition technique to detect and extract
coherent energy in both common shot gathers and fi-
nal stacks. This technique uses the statistics of a picked
seismic phase to obtain the likelihood distribution of its
presence. Multiplication of this likelihood distribution
with the original data results in a “cleaned up” section.
Application of the technique to data from a deep seismic
reflection experiment enhanced the visibility of all
reflectors considerably.
Because the recognition technique cannot produce an
estimate of “missing” data, it is extended with a reconstruction
method. Two methods are proposed: application
of semblance weighted local slant stacks after recognition,
and direct recognition in the linear tau-p domain.
In both cases, the power of the stacking process to increase the signal-to-noise ratio is combined with the direct selection of only specific seismic phases. The joint
application of recognition and reconstruction resulted in
data images which showed reflectors more clearly than
application of a single technique
Evaluating 35 Methods to Generate Structural Connectomes Using Pairwise Classification
There is no consensus on how to construct structural brain networks from
diffusion MRI. How variations in pre-processing steps affect network
reliability and its ability to distinguish subjects remains opaque. In this
work, we address this issue by comparing 35 structural connectome-building
pipelines. We vary diffusion reconstruction models, tractography algorithms and
parcellations. Next, we classify structural connectome pairs as either
belonging to the same individual or not. Connectome weights and eight
topological derivative measures form our feature set. For experiments, we use
three test-retest datasets from the Consortium for Reliability and
Reproducibility (CoRR) comprised of a total of 105 individuals. We also compare
pairwise classification results to a commonly used parametric test-retest
measure, Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC).Comment: Accepted for MICCAI 2017, 8 pages, 3 figure
Multi-View Face Recognition From Single RGBD Models of the Faces
This work takes important steps towards solving the following problem of current interest: Assuming that each individual in a population can be modeled by a single frontal RGBD face image, is it possible to carry out face recognition for such a population using multiple 2D images captured from arbitrary viewpoints? Although the general problem as stated above is extremely challenging, it encompasses subproblems that can be addressed today. The subproblems addressed in this work relate to: (1) Generating a large set of viewpoint dependent face images from a single RGBD frontal image for each individual; (2) using hierarchical approaches based on view-partitioned subspaces to represent the training data; and (3) based on these hierarchical approaches, using a weighted voting algorithm to integrate the evidence collected from multiple images of the same face as recorded from different viewpoints. We evaluate our methods on three datasets: a dataset of 10 people that we created and two publicly available datasets which include a total of 48 people. In addition to providing important insights into the nature of this problem, our results show that we are able to successfully recognize faces with accuracies of 95% or higher, outperforming existing state-of-the-art face recognition approaches based on deep convolutional neural networks
Entropy-based feature extraction for electromagnetic discharges classification in high-voltage power generation
This work exploits four entropy measures known as Sample, Permutation, Weighted Permutation, and Dispersion Entropy to extract relevant information from Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) discharge signals that are useful in fault diagnosis of High-Voltage (HV) equipment. Multi-class classification algorithms are used to classify or distinguish between various discharge sources such as Partial Discharges (PD), Exciter, Arcing, micro Sparking and Random Noise. The signals were measured and recorded on different sites followed by EMI expert’s data analysis in order to identify and label the discharge source type contained within the signal. The classification was performed both within each site and across all sites. The system performs well for both cases with extremely high classification accuracy within site. This work demonstrates the ability to extract relevant entropy-based features from EMI discharge sources from time-resolved signals requiring minimal computation making the system ideal for a potential application to online condition monitoring based on EMI
