Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically maintaining and utilizing walking profiles for time estimations in service scheduling are provided. A networked system detects usage of an application on a user device. In response to the detecting, the networked system accesses environmental condition data at a location associated with a user of the user device, whereby the environmental condition data comprises one or more environmental condition affecting the location. The networked system accesses walking pace data from the user device, whereby the walking pace data represents a current walking pace of the user and correlates the walking pace data with the environmental condition data. Using the correlated data, the networked system adjusts a parameter in a walking profile of the user. The walking profile is then used to determine time estimates that are used to schedule services that require walking by a user.

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.
