  • Patent number: 12650304
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a phase-resolved ocean wave forecast with ensemble based data assimilation are disclosed. An example method includes receiving radar data corresponding to an ocean surface, and determining a surface elevation and a surface potential of a portion of the ocean surface. The example method also includes generating an ensemble of perturbed ocean surface data, and applying a phase-resolved nonlinear wave model to the ensemble of perturbed ocean surface data to generate a set of forecast ocean surface data. The example method also includes receiving a subsequent set of radar data corresponding to the ocean surface, and determining a subsequent surface elevation and surface potential of the portion of the ocean surface. The example method also includes combining, by applying an ensemble Kalman filter, the set of forecast ocean surface data with the subsequent surface elevation and surface potential to generate a phase-resolved ocean wave forecast.

  • Publication number: 20240300626
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a phase-resolved ocean wave forecast with ensemble based data assimilation are disclosed. An example method includes receiving radar data corresponding to an ocean surface, and determining a surface elevation, a surface potential, and an ocean current field of a portion of the ocean surface. The example method also includes generating an ensemble of perturbed ocean surface data, and applying a phase-resolved nonlinear wave model to the ensemble of perturbed ocean surface data to generate forecast ocean surface data. The example method also includes receiving a subsequent set of radar data corresponding to the ocean surface, and applying an ensemble Kalman filter to determine, a subsequent surface elevation, a subsequent surface potential, and a subsequent ocean current field. The example method also includes generating a phase-resolved ocean wave forecast based on iteratively analyzing the subsequent ocean field until a tolerance factor satisfies a tolerance threshold.

  • Patent number: 11782979
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for video searches and methods and apparatuses for index construction. In one embodiment, the method comprises: upon receiving a search request input by a user to search for a target video, processing, based on a pre-configured algorithm, multimodal search data for the target video included in the search request; providing a processing result of the multimodal search data with regard to a corresponding pre-constructed index to search to obtain the target video.
