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

This approach firstly uses random decrement technique to gain free decays corresponding to the acceleration response of the structure to some non-zero initial conditions. Then the continuous Morlet wavelet transformation of the free decays is performed; and the Parseval formula and residue theorem are used to simplify the transformation. The maximal wavelet transformation coefficients in different scales are searched out by means of band-filtering characteristic of Morlet wavelet, and then the modal parameters are identified according to the relationships with maximal modulus and angle of the wavelet transform. In addition, the condition of modal uncoupling is discussed according to variation trend of flight flutter modal parameters in the flight flutter state. The analysis results of simulation and flight flutter test data show that this approach is not only simple, effective and feasible, but also having good noise immunity.展开更多

A fast algorithm, which can greatly decrease the processing burden and can be very easy for hardware implementation in real-time, is analyzed. The algorithm will no longer have the processing of decimation and interpolation of usual WT. The formulae of the decomposition and the reconstruction are given.

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.

文摘With the development of digitalization in healthcare,more and more information is delivered and stored in digital form,facilitating people’s lives significantly.In the meanwhile,privacy leakage and security issues come along with it.Zero watermarking can solve this problem well.To protect the security of medical information and improve the algorithm’s robustness,this paper proposes a robust watermarking algorithm for medical images based on Non-Subsampled Shearlet Transform(NSST)and Schur decomposition.Firstly,the low-frequency subband image of the original medical image is obtained by NSST and chunked.Secondly,the Schur decomposition of low-frequency blocks to get stable values,extracting the maximum absolute value of the diagonal elements of the upper triangle matrix after the Schur decom-position of each low-frequency block and constructing the transition matrix from it.Then,the mean of the matrix is compared to each element’s value,creating a feature matrix by combining perceptual hashing,and selecting 32 bits as the feature sequence.Finally,the feature vector is exclusive OR(XOR)operated with the encrypted watermark information to get the zero watermark and complete registration with a third-party copyright certification center.Experimental data show that the Normalized Correlation(NC)values of watermarks extracted in random carrier medical images are above 0.5,with higher robustness than traditional algorithms,especially against geometric attacks and achieve watermark information invisibility without altering the carrier medical image.

文摘Accurate and efficient detection of building changes in remote sensing imagery is crucial for urban planning,disaster emergency response,and resource management.However,existing methods face challenges such as spectral similarity between buildings and backgrounds,sensor variations,and insufficient computational efficiency.To address these challenges,this paper proposes a novel Multi-scale Efficient Wavelet-based Change Detection Network(MewCDNet),which integrates the advantages of Convolutional Neural Networks and Transformers,balances computational costs,and achieves high-performance building change detection.The network employs EfficientNet-B4 as the backbone for hierarchical feature extraction,integrates multi-level feature maps through a multi-scale fusion strategy,and incorporates two key modules:Cross-temporal Difference Detection(CTDD)and Cross-scale Wavelet Refinement(CSWR).CTDD adopts a dual-branch architecture that combines pixel-wise differencing with semanticaware Euclidean distance weighting to enhance the distinction between true changes and background noise.CSWR integrates Haar-based Discrete Wavelet Transform with multi-head cross-attention mechanisms,enabling cross-scale feature fusion while significantly improving edge localization and suppressing spurious changes.Extensive experiments on four benchmark datasets demonstrate MewCDNet’s superiority over comparison methods:achieving F1 scores of 91.54%on LEVIR,93.70%on WHUCD,and 64.96%on S2Looking for building change detection.Furthermore,MewCDNet exhibits optimal performance on the multi-class⋅SYSU dataset(F1:82.71%),highlighting its exceptional generalization capability.

文摘In view of the feature of flight flutter test data with atmospheric turbulence excitation, a method which combines wavelet transformation with random decrement technique for identifying flight flutter modal parameters is presented. This approach firstly uses random decrement technique to gain free decays corresponding to the acceleration response of the structure to some non-zero initial conditions. Then the continuous Morlet wavelet transformation of the free decays is performed; and the Parseval formula and residue theorem are used to simplify the transformation. The maximal wavelet transformation coefficients in different scales are searched out by means of band-filtering characteristic of Morlet wavelet, and then the modal parameters are identified according to the relationships with maximal modulus and angle of the wavelet transform. In addition, the condition of modal uncoupling is discussed according to variation trend of flight flutter modal parameters in the flight flutter state. The analysis results of simulation and flight flutter test data show that this approach is not only simple, effective and feasible, but also having good noise immunity.

文摘Decomposition and reconstruction of Mallat fast wavelet transformation （WT） is described. A fast algorithm, which can greatly decrease the processing burden and can be very easy for hardware implementation in real-time, is analyzed. The algorithm will no longer have the processing of decimation and interpolation of usual WT. The formulae of the decomposition and the reconstruction are given. Simulation results of the MEMS （micro-electro mechanical systems） gyroscope drift signal show that the algorithm spends much less processing time to finish the de-noising process than the usual WT. And the de-noising effect is the same. The fast algorithm has been implemented in a TMS320C6713 digital signal processor. The standard variance of the gyroscope static drift signal decreases from 78. 435 5 （°）/h to 36. 763 5 （°）/h. It takes 0. 014 ms to process all input data and can meet the real-time analysis of signal.

文摘Combining wavelet transforms with conventional log differential curves is used to identify fractured sections is a new idea.In this paper,we first compute the mother wavelet transform of conventional logs and the wavelet decomposed signals are compared with fractures identified from image logs to determine the fracture-matched mother wavelet.Then the mother wavelet-based decomposed signal combined with the differential curves of conventional well logs create a fracture indicator curve,identifying the fractured zone.Finally the fracture density can be precisely evaluated by the linear relationship of the indicator curve and image log fracture density.This method has been successfully used to evaluate igneous reservoir fractures in the southern Songnan basin and the calculated density from the indicator curve and density from image logs are both basically consistent.
