  • Patent number: 9869785
    Abstract: Systems and methods for speed-adjustable model navigation are provided. In aspects, a model platform includes a model engine and a speed tool that operates with the model engine to generate a graphical view of a geological model. Various features of the geological object may be encoded or reflected in the geological model, including the composition, pressure, temperate, structure, fracture lines, and other aspects of a hydrocarbon deposit, cavity, or other geological structure. The user may operate the speed tool to examine the histogram of color or intensity of the pixels or voxels of regions of the model view, and set a speed curve to control how quickly or slowly a cursor or other control may move through or traverse a region, based on the color, intensity, or other value. Regions of interest may be explored more efficiently and accurately.

  • Publication number: 20150103077
    Abstract: Systems, media, and methods for mesh editing are provided. For example, the method may include receiving a selection of a selected portion of a mesh, and receiving an instruction to move the selected portion of the mesh by a first distance in a direction. The method may also include defining an influence operator based on a location of the selected portion of the mesh, and determining that a second portion of the mesh is disposed within the influence operator. The method may further include moving the second portion of the mesh to avoid an intersection with the selected portion, and moving the selected portion of the mesh by the first distance and in the direction.

  • Publication number: 20150049085
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for editing a mesh representing a surface are provided. The method includes receiving a representation of an object. The representation includes the mesh and a plurality of discrete elements comprising one or more boundary elements. The mesh is associated with the one or more boundary elements. The method also includes changing an edited element of the plurality of discrete elements from a boundary element to a non-boundary element or from a non-boundary element to a boundary element. The method also includes locally recalculating a portion the mesh based on the changing.

  • Patent number: 8803878
    Abstract: Visualizing region growing in 3D voxel volumes relates to generating a 3D scene having a plurality of voxels for representing a volume data set of seismic data collected from the oilfield, defining a segmentation algorithm for segmenting the volume data within the 3D scene, the segmentation algorithm comparing a pre-determined threshold to an attribute of a voxel of the plurality of voxels, defining a control parameter associated with the attribute for controlling the segmentation algorithm, adjusting the control parameter to guide the segmentation algorithm in segmenting the volume data set to generate a visualized geobody, and displaying the visualized geobody.
