Most previous studies utilized a log-linear regression model to invert multi-spectral images into bathymetric data. Based on the Levenberg-Marquardt optimization algorithm, we developed an automated method for calibrating the parameters for a non-linear inversion model. Our method has been successfully applied to an IKONOS multispectral image. We compared depth data derived from our model to th...

Optimal sensor distribution in explosion testing is important in saving test costs and improving experiment efficiency. Aiming at travel time tomography in an explosion, an optimizing method in sensor distribution is proposed to improve the inversion stability. The influence factors of inversion stability are analyzed and the evaluating function on optimizing sensor distribution is proposed. Th...

This paper presents a parallel algorithm for matrix inversion on a torus interconnected MIMD-MC multi-processor. This method is faster than the parallel implementations of other widely used methods namely Gauss-Jordan, Gauss-Seidal or LU decomposition based inversion. This new algorithm also introduces a novel technique, called adaptive pivoting, for solving the zero pivot problem at no cost. O...

In this paper, a new inversion scheme for surface-wave velocities in a slightly anisotropic medium will be presented, revisiting the inversion method performed by Corchete and Badal (2004). Tecnociencia 6(2), 23–41). An extension of the Smith–Dahlen formulation will be examined and revised. The surfacewave propagation in a slightly anisotropic medium will be considered, and the inversion of the...

Seismic waveforms contain much information that is ignored under standard processing schemes; seismic waveform inversion seeks to use the full information content of the recorded wavefield. In this paper I present, apply, and evaluate a frequency-space domain approach to waveform inversion. The method is a local descent algorithm that proceeds from a starting model to refine the model in order ...

This paper presents the results of profile inversion of multi-frequency electromagnetic scatteredfield data, measured by the Institute Fresnel, Marseille, France, from cylindrical objects, both for TM andTE illuminations. The reconstructions are obtained by applying the Multiplicative Regularized Contrast SourceInversion (MR-CSI) method. The results show that the MR-CSI method succe...

In this work, we extend the finite-difference contrast source inversion (FDCSI) method to the frequency-domain elastic wave equations, where the parameters describing the subsurface structure are simultaneously reconstructed. The FD-CSI method is an iterative nonlinear inversion method, which exhibits several strengths. First, the finite-difference operator only relies on the background media a...

an experimental study of the phase inversion behavior of liquid-liquid dispersion has been conducted in a spray extraction column for systems of toluene / water, n-hexane/water, ccl4/water, toluene /water + glycerol (25 % wt), toluene + ccl4 (25 % wt) / water and toluene / acetic acid (5 % wt)/water. the effects of physical properties, mass transfer and column geometry on phase inversion have b...

In this paper, we present a new estimation of the atmospheric refractivity profile combining the scattering signal (electromagnetic wave propagation loss) and the direct signal (phase delay). The refractivity profile is modeled using four parameters, i.e., the gradient of the refractivity profile (c1, c2) and the vertical altitude (h1, h2). We apply the NSGA-II (Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Al...

The method of simultaneous PP-PS inversion has recently been developed and tested on the 3-D Blackfoot seismic data set. This paper shows the application of this method on 3C-2D seismic data from Pikes Peak oilfield. The inversion was accomplished with a newly installed inversion module in ProMAX. After careful prestack processing, five limitedoffset stacked sections for each of the vertical an...
