  • Inspection systems and methods including image retrieval module
    Patent number: 11507616
    Abstract: A method of inspecting a component includes storing at least one inspection image file in a memory and receiving a search request associated with the at least one inspection image file. The method also includes accessing a database including a plurality of image files, comparing the hash code of the at least one inspection image file to the hash code of each image file of the plurality of image files, and identifying a first subset of image files based on the hash code comparison. The method also includes comparing the feature data of the at least one inspection image file to the feature data of each image file of the first subset of image files and classifying a second subset of image files as relevant based on the feature data comparison. The method further includes generating search results based on the second subset of image files.

  • DETECTING SUBSURFACE STRUCTURES
    Publication number: 20150355353
    Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing geophysical data to identify structures in a subsurface are provided herein. In an exemplary method, an iterative optimization is performed that includes computing similarities between potential shapes and shape cluster models, updating cluster memberships and the shape cluster models, and determining if a criterion is improved from a previous iteration.
