  • Publication number: 20180189421
    Abstract: Determining a shape of a medical device to be implanted into a subject produces an image including a defective portion and a non-defective portion of a surface of a tissue of interest included in the subject. The tissue of interest is segmented within the image. A template, representing a normative shape of an external anatomical surface of the tissue of interest, is superimposed to span the defective portion. An external shape of an implant, is determined as a function of respective shapes of the defective portion as seen in the template, for repairing the defective portion.

  • Publication number: 20180172858
    Abstract: Computer systems and methods are provided for time domain reconstructed seismic wavefield imaging. The original source signal or extended source can be forward propagated based on a model of a subsurface region, in order to generate a residual by comparison to field data. The residual can be back-propagated to generate a reconstructed source signal, which can be forward propagated to generate a reconstructed source wavefield. Seismic images can be generated by cross correlating the forward-propagated reconstructed source wavefield and the back-propagated receiver wavefield. The model can include seismic parameters such as velocity, density, anisotropy and attenuation characterizing the subsurface region, and can be iteratively refined to improve image quality, based on the reconstructed source wavefield in comparison to the field data.

  • Publication number: 20170168177
    Abstract: Computer systems and methods are provided for seismic wavefield processing, including time domain reconstructed full wavefield inversion (TDRFWI) of seismic survey data. Suitable methods include forward propagating a source signal based on a model of a subsurface region, generating a residual based on the forward-propagated wavefield in comparison to field data, back propagating the residual to generate a reconstructed source perturbation, and adding the reconstructed source perturbation to the source signal to generate a reconstructed source wavefield. The reconstructed source perturbation can be forward propagated to generate a reconstructed wavefield perturbation, and added to the reconstructed wavefield perturbation to reconstruct the wavefield. The propagations can be performed in the time domain, and the model can be updated based on the reconstructed wavefield and reconstructed source perturbation to generate high fidelity subsurface images.
