Due to the variable reservoir formation morphology, the drilling trajectory often deviates from the high-quality reservoir,which increases the risk of fracturing. Accurately recognizing low-amplitude structures plays a crucial role in guiding horizontal wells. However, existing methods have low recognition accuracy, and are difficult to meet actual production demand. In order to improve the drilling encounter rate of high-quality reservoirs, we propose a method for fine recognition of low-amplitude structures based on the non-subsampled contourlet transform(NSCT). Firstly, the seismic structural data are analyzed at multiple scales and directions using the NSCT and decomposed into low-frequency and high-frequency structural components. Then, the signal of each component is reconstructed to eliminate the low-frequency background of the structure, highlight the structure and texture information, and recognize the low-amplitude structure from it. Finally, we combined the drilled horizontal wells to verify the low-amplitude structural recognition results. Taking a study area in the west Sichuan Basin block as an example, we demonstrate the fine identification of low-amplitude structures based on NSCT. By combining the variation characteristics of logging curves, such as organic carbon content(TOC), natural gamma value(GR), etc., the real structure type is verified and determined, and the false structures in the recognition results are checked. The proposed method can provide reliable information on low-amplitude structures for optimizing the trajectory of horizontal wells. Compared with identification methods based on traditional wavelet transform and curvelet transform, NSCT enhances the local features of low-amplitude structures and achieves finer mapping of low-amplitude structures, showing promise for application.展开更多

文摘Image watermarking is a powerful tool for media protection and can provide promising results when combined with other defense mechanisms.Image watermarking can be used to protect the copyright of digital media by embedding a unique identifier that identifies the owner of the content.Image watermarking can also be used to verify the authenticity of digital media,such as images or videos,by ascertaining the watermark information.In this paper,a mathematical chaos-based image watermarking technique is proposed using discrete wavelet transform(DWT),chaotic map,and Laplacian operator.The DWT can be used to decompose the image into its frequency components,chaos is used to provide extra security defense by encrypting the watermark signal,and the Laplacian operator with optimization is applied to the mid-frequency bands to find the sharp areas in the image.These mid-frequency bands are used to embed the watermarks by modifying the coefficients in these bands.The mid-sub-band maintains the invisible property of the watermark,and chaos combined with the second-order derivative Laplacian is vulnerable to attacks.Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that this approach is effective for common signal processing attacks,i.e.,compression,noise addition,and filtering.Moreover,this approach also maintains image quality through peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR)and structural similarity index metrics(SSIM).The highest achieved PSNR and SSIM values are 55.4 dB and 1.In the same way,normalized correlation(NC)values are almost 10%–20%higher than comparative research.These results support assistance in copyright protection in multimedia content.

文摘Imaging sonar devices generate sonar images by receiving echoes from objects,which are often accompanied by severe speckle noise,resulting in image distortion and information loss.Common optical denoising methods do not work well in removing speckle noise from sonar images and may even reduce their visual quality.To address this issue,a sonar image denoising method based on fuzzy clustering and the undecimated dual-tree complex wavelet transform is proposed.This method provides a perfect translation invariance and an improved directional selectivity during image decomposition,leading to richer representation of noise and edges in high frequency coefficients.Fuzzy clustering can separate noise from useful information according to the amplitude characteristics of speckle noise,preserving the latter and achieving the goal of noise removal.Additionally,the low frequency coefficients are smoothed using bilateral filtering to improve the visual quality of the image.To verify the effectiveness of the algorithm,multiple groups of ablation experiments were conducted,and speckle sonar images with different variances were evaluated and compared with existing speckle removal methods in the transform domain.The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively improve image quality,especially in cases of severe noise,where it still achieves a good denoising performance.

文摘Stratigraphic correlations are essential for the fine-scale characterization of reservoirs.However,conventional data-driven methods that rely solely on log data struggle to construct isochronous stratigraphic frameworks for complex sedimentary environments and multi-source geological settings.In response,this study proposed an intelligent,automatic,log-seismic integrated stratigraphic correlation method that incorporates wavelet frequency-division transform(WFT)and dynamic time warping(DTW)(also referred to as the WFT-DTW method).This approach integrates seismic data as constraints into stratigraphic correlations,enabling accurate tracking of the seismic marker horizons through WFT.Under the constraints of framework construction,a DTW algorithm was introduced to correlate sublayer boundaries automatically.The effectiveness of the proposed method was verified through a stratigraphic correlation experiment on the SA0 Formation of the Xingshugang block in the Lasaxing oilfield,the Songliao Basin,China.In this block,the target layer exhibits sublayer thicknesses ranging from 5 m to 8 m,an average sandstone thickness of 2.1 m,and pronounced heterogeneity.The verification using 1760 layers in 160 post-test wells indicates that the WFT-DTW method intelligently compared sublayers in zones with underdeveloped faults and distinct marker horizons.As a result,the posterior correlation of 1682 layers was performed,with a coincidence rate of up to 95.6%.The proposed method can complement manual correlation efforts while also providing valuable technical support for the lithologic and sand body characterization of reservoirs.

文摘Centrifugal Pumps(CPs)are critical machine components in many industries,and their efficient operation and reliable Fault Diagnosis(FD)are essential for minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.This paper introduces a novel FD method to improve both the accuracy and reliability of detecting potential faults in such pumps.Theproposed method combinesWaveletCoherent Analysis(WCA)and Stockwell Transform(S-transform)scalograms with Sobel and non-local means filters,effectively capturing complex fault signatures from vibration signals.Using Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)for feature extraction,the method transforms these scalograms into image inputs,enabling the recognition of patterns that span both time and frequency domains.The CNN extracts essential discriminative features,which are then merged and passed into a Kolmogorov-Arnold Network(KAN)classifier,ensuring precise fault identification.The proposed approach was experimentally validated on diverse datasets collected under varying conditions,demonstrating its robustness and generalizability.Achieving classification accuracy of 100%,99.86%,and 99.92%across the datasets,this method significantly outperforms traditional fault detection approaches.These results underscore the potential to enhance CP FD,providing an effective solution for predictive maintenance and improving overall system reliability.
文摘Drive-by techniques for bridge health monitoring have drawn increasing attention from researchers and practitioners,in the attempt to make bridge condition-based monitoring more cost-efficient.In this work,the authors propose a drive-by approach that takes advantage from bogie vertical accelerations to assess bridge health status.To do so,continuous wavelet transform is combined with multiple sparse autoencoders that allow for damage detection and localization across bridge span.According to authors’best knowledge,this is the first case in which an unsupervised technique,which relies on the use of sparse autoencoders,is used to localize damages.The bridge considered in this work is a Warren steel truss bridge,whose finite element model is referred to an actual structure,belonging to the Italian railway line.To investigate damage detection and localization performances,different operational variables are accounted for:train weight,forward speed and track irregularity evolution in time.Two configurations for the virtual measuring channels were investigated:as a result,better performances were obtained by exploiting the vertical accelerations of both the bogies of the leading coach instead of using only one single acceleration signal.
文摘Future 6G communications will open up opportunities for innovative applications,including Cyber-Physical Systems,edge computing,supporting Industry 5.0,and digital agriculture.While automation is creating efficiencies,it can also create new cyber threats,such as vulnerabilities in trust and malicious node injection.Denialof-Service(DoS)attacks can stop many forms of operations by overwhelming networks and systems with data noise.Current anomaly detection methods require extensive software changes and only detect static threats.Data collection is important for being accurate,but it is often a slow,tedious,and sometimes inefficient process.This paper proposes a new wavelet transformassisted Bayesian deep learning based probabilistic(WT-BDLP)approach tomitigate malicious data injection attacks in 6G edge networks.The proposed approach combines outlier detection based on a Bayesian learning conditional variational autoencoder(Bay-LCVariAE)and traffic pattern analysis based on continuous wavelet transform(CWT).The Bay-LCVariAE framework allows for probabilistic modelling of generative features to facilitate capturing how features of interest change over time,spatially,and for recognition of anomalies.Similarly,CWT allows emphasizing the multi-resolution spectral analysis and permits temporally relevant frequency pattern recognition.Experimental testing showed that the flexibility of the Bayesian probabilistic framework offers a vast improvement in anomaly detection accuracy over existing methods,with a maximum accuracy of 98.21%recognizing anomalies.
文摘Cardiovascular diseases are the world’s leading cause of death;therefore cardiac health of the human heart has been a fascinating topic for decades.The electrocardiogram(ECG)signal is a comprehensive non-invasive method for determining cardiac health.Various health practitioners use the ECG signal to ascertain critical information about the human heart.In this article,swarm intelligence approaches are used in the biomedical signal processing sector to enhance adaptive hybrid filters and empirical wavelet transforms(EWTs).At first,the white Gaussian noise is added to the input ECG signal and then applied to the EWT.The ECG signals are denoised by the proposed adaptive hybrid filter.The honey badge optimization(HBO)algorithm is utilized to optimize the EWT window function and adaptive hybrid filter weight parameters.The proposed approach is simulated by MATLAB 2018a using the MIT-BIH dataset with white Gaussian,electromyogram and electrode motion artifact noises.A comparison of the HBO approach with recursive least square-based adaptive filter,multichannel least means square,and discrete wavelet transform methods has been done in order to show the efficiency of the proposed adaptive hybrid filter.The experimental results show that the HBO approach supported by EWT and adaptive hybrid filter can be employed efficiently for cardiovascular signal denoising.

文摘Currently, horizontal well fracturing is indispensable for shale gas development. Due to the variable reservoir formation morphology, the drilling trajectory often deviates from the high-quality reservoir,which increases the risk of fracturing. Accurately recognizing low-amplitude structures plays a crucial role in guiding horizontal wells. However, existing methods have low recognition accuracy, and are difficult to meet actual production demand. In order to improve the drilling encounter rate of high-quality reservoirs, we propose a method for fine recognition of low-amplitude structures based on the non-subsampled contourlet transform(NSCT). Firstly, the seismic structural data are analyzed at multiple scales and directions using the NSCT and decomposed into low-frequency and high-frequency structural components. Then, the signal of each component is reconstructed to eliminate the low-frequency background of the structure, highlight the structure and texture information, and recognize the low-amplitude structure from it. Finally, we combined the drilled horizontal wells to verify the low-amplitude structural recognition results. Taking a study area in the west Sichuan Basin block as an example, we demonstrate the fine identification of low-amplitude structures based on NSCT. By combining the variation characteristics of logging curves, such as organic carbon content(TOC), natural gamma value(GR), etc., the real structure type is verified and determined, and the false structures in the recognition results are checked. The proposed method can provide reliable information on low-amplitude structures for optimizing the trajectory of horizontal wells. Compared with identification methods based on traditional wavelet transform and curvelet transform, NSCT enhances the local features of low-amplitude structures and achieves finer mapping of low-amplitude structures, showing promise for application.

文摘Medical image registration is widely used in image-guided therapy and image-guided surgery to estimate spatial correspondence between planning and treatment images.However,most methods based on intensity have the problems of matching ambiguity and ignoring the influence of weak correspondence areas on the overall registration.In this study,we propose a novel general-purpose registration algorithm based on free-form deformation by non-subsampled contourlet transform and saliency map,which can reduce the matching ambiguities and maintain the topological structure of weak correspondence areas.An optimization method based on Markov random fields is used to optimize the registration process.Experiments on four public datasets from brain,cardiac,and lung have demonstrated the general applicability and the accuracy of our algorithm compared with two state-of-the-art methods.
