  • Publication number: 20220307895
    Abstract: Systems and methods may be used to reconstruct particle velocity wavefields from coupling-calibrated fiber-optic data that subsequently enables physically valid construction of the particle velocity wavefields for a hybrid sensor array including both fiber-optic and particle motion sensors. These systems and methods may be used in a variety of borehole geophysical applications, such as structure and reservoir imaging, impedance inversion, attenuation tomography, micro-seismic fracture imaging, focal mechanism analysis, and so on. The systems and methods may also be used in other applications such as geothermal and CO2 storage monitoring.

  • Patent number: 11269948
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus is provided and copies first history data indicating a content of image processing performed on a first image. In response to an instruction to append the copied first history data to a second image received, the electronic apparatus overwrites the second history data with the copied first history data and saves the copied first history data if a result of image processing performed on the second image using second history data is displayed on a first screen. The electronic apparatus adds the copied first history data and saves the copied first history data in association with the second image if a plurality of pieces of information corresponding to each of a plurality of second images is displayed on a second screen.
