  • Publication number: 20250252705
    Abstract: Example solutions for pluralistic salient object detection are disclosed. A received image shows multiple objects, such as a first object and a second object. A pluralistic object detector is trained to learn tokens. When provided with the image and the first token, it generates a first segmentation mask corresponding to the first object, but not the second object, and when provided with the image and the second token, it generates a second segmentation mask corresponding to at least the second object (and possibly also the first image). When the pluralistic object detector is trained on five tokens, up to five different segmentation masks, each corresponding to a different selection of up to five objects, may be generated. Additionally, a quality predictor is disclosed that assigns quality scores to each of the different segmentation masks, without requiring ground truth for the image.

  • Patent number: 12223412
    Abstract: A computer device for automatic feature detection comprises a processor, a communication device, and a memory configured to hold instructions executable by the processor to instantiate a dynamic convolution neural network, receive input data via the communication network, and execute the dynamic convolution neural network to automatically detect features in the input data. The dynamic convolution neural network compresses the input data from an input space having a dimensionality equal to a predetermined number of channels into an intermediate space having a dimensionality less than the number of channels. The dynamic convolution neural network dynamically fuses the channels into an intermediate representation within the intermediate space and expands the intermediate representation from the intermediate space to an expanded representation in an output space having a higher dimensionality than the dimensionality of the intermediate space.

  • Publication number: 20250028071
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating synthetic borehole image logs include logging rate of penetration (ROP) data, resistivity data, and gamma ray data while drilling a borehole in a subsurface formation to generate logged data. The generating includes determining an effective dip angle of the subsurface formation along the borehole and generating a depth shift table based on the effective dip angle and a well deviation angle, the well deviation angle being between the borehole and a vertical reference. Datasets are generated based on the ROP data, resistivity data, and gamma ray data, the generated datasets having higher sampling rates than the logged data. Synthetic borehole images are generated based on the generated datasets and the depth shift table, and the synthetic borehole images are oriented with respect to a reference point of the borehole.

  • Patent number: 12066590
    Abstract: Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for creating artificial real-time gamma ray (GR) images for well placement. Real-time azimuthal density data is determined from drilling of a well. An azimuthal density data set is generated using the real-time azimuthal density data. The azimuthal density data set is generated with a greater sampling rate than a real-time sampling rate of the real-time azimuthal density data. An azimuthal density curve depth match is performed using the azimuthal density data set. Performing the azimuthal density curve depth match includes creating a depth shift match table. A high-resolution sector near-bit gamma ray (GR) image is generated using the azimuthal density curve depth match and the depth shift match table. The high-resolution sector near-bit GR image is oriented to a top of a wellbore for the well.

  • Patent number: 11873709
    Abstract: Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method: Total clay, effective porosity (PHIE) values, and gas volume are determined for a tight gas sandstone reservoir characterization using petrophysical evaluation results. Regions of the tight gas sandstone reservoir are characterized, including performing diagenetic rock typing for the regions using the total clay and PHIE values, where the diagenetic rock typing reflects porosity/permeability and clay content change. Sweet spots are determined based on the diagenetic rock typing and gas volume variation. Ranked sweet spots are determined by indexing and ranking the sweet spots by category. Optimized infill drilling locations and target zones are determined, and well placements in the tight gas sandstone reservoir are assisted using the diagenetic rock typing and the ranked sweet spots.

  • Patent number: 10564159
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions useful in the diagnosis and management of autoimmune diseases. In particular, the present invention provides improved methods and compositions for the diagnosis and management of Graves' disease. The methods of the present invention not only avoids the need for radioactivity and are much simpler, economical, and rapid than methods traditionally used for the diagnosis of Graves' disease, but also improve upon the sensitivity and detection abilities of previous luciferase-based autoantibody detection assays. Such improvements are based upon the superior performance of assays comprising a chimeric TSH receptor in the presence of a glucocorticoid including, but not limited to, dexamethasone.
