An example method includes a system accessing a base model trained for identifying a base class. The system can access an extender comprising block extenders, the extender class distinct from the base class. The system can connect the extender with the base model to generate an augmented model. The system can input training data to the augmented model, the training data is provided to the base model and the extender, the training data comprising data points associated with the extender class. The system can train the extender model to identify the extender class based at least in part on the training data and the signal received from the base machine learning model. The system can generate a trained extender based at least in part on the training, the extender trained to identify an object associated with the extender class.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2024Publication date: January 30, 2025Applicant: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Edwin Thomas, Amit Agarwal, Sandeep Jana, Kulbhushan Pachauri

Publication number: 20240168192Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to performing marine surveys according to dither values generated based on one or more dithering constraints. This may include for example, determining a set of nominal shot points for a marine seismic energy source and determining dither values for ones of the nominal shot points. In some embodiments, the dither values are randomly generated, subject to a duplication constraint such that at most a threshold number of dither differences between consecutive shot points that fall within discrete ranges. In some embodiments, actual shot points are determined for the planned sail line based on application of the determined dither values to the nominal shot points. In various embodiments, the disclosed techniques may facilitate a separate de-blending procedure to separate signals from the marine seismic energy source and signals from one or more other seismic energy sources to be used for the seismic survey.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2023Publication date: May 23, 2024Applicant: PGS Geophysical ASInventors: Christian Strand, Edwin Thomas Hodges
