Abstract: Received shot gathers are sorted to a common receiver gather. A target three-dimensional (3D) amplitude spectrum of seismic wavefield direct arrivals is computed from synthetic data. A 3D amplitude spectrum of seismic wavefield direct arrivals in field data is computed for each receiver. A matched filter is calculated from the 3D amplitude spectrum of field data to target response and applied to downgoing seismic wavefields separated from the common receiver gather to generate filtered downgoing seismic wavefields. Time-dependent smoothing of the filtered downgoing seismic wavefields is performed to generate smoothed downgoing seismic wavefields. A cross-correlation is calculated between upgoing seismic wavefields separated from the common receiver gather and the smoothed downgoing seismic wavefields.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a hybrid framework-based image bit-depth expansion method and device. The invention fuses a traditional de-banding algorithm and a depth network-based learning algorithm, and can remove unnatural effects in an image flat area whilst more realistically restoring numerical information of missing bits. The method comprises the extraction of image flat areas, local adaptive pixel value adjustment-based flat area bit-depth expansion and convolutional neural network-based non-flat area bit-depth expansion. The present invention uses a learning-based method to train an effective depth network to solve the problem of realistically restoring missing bits, whilst using a simple and robust local adaptive pixel value adjustment method in an flat area to effectively inhibit unnatural effects in the flat area such as banding, a ringing and flat noise, improving subjective visual quality of the flat area.

Abstract: The present invention teaches a TFT array substrate, including a substrate; a first metallic layer disposed on the substrate; a gate insulation layer disposed on the first metallic layer and the substrate, where the gate insulation layer includes a level section above the first metallic layer and a pair of step sections respectively connected to lateral sides of the level section; a second metallic layer disposed on the level section, where an area of the second metallic layer's vertical projection onto the top side of the substrate is smaller than an area of the level section's top side; and a protection layer disposed on the second metallic layer and the gate insulation layer. As the second metallic layer is withdrawn for a distance from the level section's circumference, the protection layer is not required to rise continuously, and the protection layer is less prone to broken film and oxidization.

Abstract: Provided is a manufacturing method of an array substrate. When a first photomask is used to pattern a gate insulating layer to form a plurality of first conductive vias within the OLB area, by increasing a distance between two adjacent first via patterns to more than 10 ?m, the effect of gray tone mask effect is reduced as a first conductive via is formed in the gate insulating layer Thus, a slope of the first photoresist via wall is relatively gentle, so that a slope of a via wall of the first conductive via is also relatively gentle, and as a passivation layer is formed thereafter, the passivation layer can be easily formed on the wall of the first conductive via without breaking. Then, a second metal layer in the first conductive via can be completely covered by the passivation layer to avoid oxidation.

Abstract: In an example implementation, first seismic energy is generated using first seismic sources positioned on an earth's surface. First data including measurements of the first seismic energy is obtained from first geophones positioned at a first depth below the earth's surface. Second data including measurements of the first seismic energy is obtained from second geophones positioned on the earth's surface. Second seismic energy is generated using second seismic sources positioned on an earth's surface and proximal to the second geophones. Third data including measurements of the second seismic energy is obtained from third geophones positioned at the first depth below the earth's surface. A propagation of the first seismic energy along a first path is estimated based on the first, second and third data. One or more characteristics of the target are determined based on the estimate.
