lineaments are the most important phenomena of geological exploration of hydrocarbon reservoirs . concepts in order to map the contours of land need so much time and money. one of the most famous methods in lineaments extraction is satellite image processing. in this paper, an overview of lineament extraction methods and a new method based on canny edge detection algorithm is raised. the result...

In what form should qualitative psychological statements have to be in order to be general and falsifiable? I show how basic qualitative measurement systems can be defined that allow for the detection and testing of general relational facts of the if-then form in a well-defined range of potential qualitative, static or dynamic, multivariate observations. The formal framework permits the pointin...

QualTras obtains information from process data and is capable of deriving and showing the qualitative process perception that expert operators could have (e.g. “the pressure dropped abruptly”). That feature makes QualTras a useful tool for supervisory tasks, such as monitoring, detection and fault diagnosis. Trends of numeric variables (e.g. measured process variables) are symbolically represen...

The field of optimization and machine learning are increasingly interplayed and optimization in different problems leads to the use of machine learning approaches‎. ‎Machine learning algorithms work in reasonable computational time for specific classes of problems and have important role in extracting knowledge from large amount of data‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎a methodology has been employed to opt...

The TRANSCEND system for fault detection and isolation in continuous systems uses qualitative reasoning methods to analyze transients caused by abrupt faults. Qualitative transient analysis avoids some of the computational difficulties associated with numerical schemes, but they lack discriminating power. This paper presents the formal basis for qualitative transient analysis, and then establis...

Work described in this paper is aimed at developing a monitoring and fault detection system for the process plant. In particular this work concentrates on how to combine qualitative reasoning techniques with conventional numerical sensor fusion techniques. The advantages and disadvantages of using pure numerical or pure qualitative technique alone arefirst demonstrated. A method of developing a...
