Kalman filtering is a methodology that has demonstrated great potential for solving a large number of problems in many areas. It has so far had its greatest success in the areas of control theory and process control, but is a method and it is not limited to this area. there are a great number of areas within oil and gas exploration where it can prove to be of great success. Of particular interest is an aid to exploration in mature hydrocarbon provinces. the identification of remaining reserves of hydrocarbons in stratigraphic traps in the world's mature hydrocarbon provinces is a difficulttask. Often these traps are small compounding identification. A subset of this general problem is the appropriate location of new wells in known producing areas. the task reported on herein has been to complete an uncompleted pattern of successful and unsuccessful wells. two dimensional Kalman filter and interpolation theory is used to estimate successful and unsuccessful well locations. Based on a map of the known well locations, the image representing the estimated pattern is completed. the majority of image pixels in this particular case will be unknown, and not just distorted off of its original value by noise. Examples are detailed and discussed.

the continuing evolution of color in both established and new electronicimaging and graphics markets plus the parallel growth of user expectation resulting in the demand for WYSIWYG color across devices points directly to the need for a unified color management approach that addresses the complex and multi-level requirements of system implementors, application and hardware vendors, as well as users. Such a system should provide extensible, device- and computing platform-independent access to state of the art color functionality. the principal elements of such an integrated system are discussed.

Mostimage coding algorithms, like the P × 64 and MPEG-1 standards, use locally derived estimates of object motion to form a prediction of the current frame. But camera motion, such as zooms and pans, which systematically affectthe entire frame, is seldom handled efficiently. In this paper, we study the modeling, estimation and compensation of global motion caused by camera zooms and pans. We model the global motion in each frame with justtwo parameters: a scalar zoom factor and a two-dimensional pan vector. Parameter estimation minimizes the squared prediction error of either the difference frame or the optical flow field. the estimated parameters are then used to construct a zoom/pan compensated prediction of the current frame, upon which some local motion compensation algorithm can then be applied to model object motion. Simulations suggestthatthese two global motion estimation algorithms are robust and accurate, and that global motion compensation provides a better prediction of the current frame with a potentially large reduction of motion side information.

Early vision processing involves segmenting and eliminating/minimizing extrinsic variations in an image. traditional segmentation algorithms use a single threshold to reduce image data to the regions importantto the vision system. A single threshold rarely gives good segmentation results over an entire image because it may rejecttoo many of the objects as belonging to the background or may accepttoo much of the background as belonging to the objects. this paper presents a segmentation method that uses multiple thresholds for partitioning an image into objects and background. the segmentation process is a gradient approach whereby the multiple (or adaptable) thresholds are calculated from discriminant structural feature values.

this paper describes a flexible parallel processing architecture designed for use in real time video processing. the system consists of floating point DSP processors connected to each other via fast serial links, each processor has access to a globally shared memory. A multiple bus architecture in combination with a dual ported memory allows communication with a host control processor. the system has been applied to prototyping of video compression and decompression algorithms. the decomposition of transform based algorithms for decompression into a form suitable for parallel processing is described. An technique for automatic load balancing among the processors is developed and discussed, results are presented with image statistics and data rates. Finally techniques for accelerating the system throughput are analyzed and results from the application of one such modification described.

With the continuing growth of modern communication technologies, the demand for imagetransmission is increasing rapidly. transmitting a high resolution images over low bandwidth communication lines usually requires a great amount of time and the user interaction with such a transmission environment can become frustrating. the problem can be eased somewhat by transmitting a series of low resolution approximations which outlines the final image. Progressive imagetransmission is being applied in interactive image communications thattransmit over low bandwidth channels. the progressive build-up is a way of reordering the coded data prior transmission, so that a rough approximation will appear first and be followed by successively more detailed versions of the final image. In this paper, we investigate the objective fidelity for several widely used progressive gray-level imagetransmission algorithms which include both time and frequency-domain approaches, and also propose some efficient implementations to improve their performance without increasing computational complexity.

Portable electronic still cameras have been available for some years although, in general, the image quality has fallen short of the 35 mm film quality benchmark. to obtain improved image capture and reproduction, higher resolution CCD imagers with wider dynamic ranges must be employed in these cameras. A camera system composed of a 35 mm Nikon F3 camera body, a camera back containing a CCD-imager, and a portable hard drive for storing digitized images was constructed and employed to acquire images distributed over photospace. this paper describes the camera's hardware and capabilities, the software post-processing, the camera's characteristics, and a method for evaluating the camera's performance.

Determination of an optimal window to improve the performance for registering nonlinear distorted images using a cross-correlation technique is presented in this paper. A two-dimensional cross-correlation technique is applied to two meteorological radar images (the search and reference images) which possess the characteristics of nonlinearity, geometric distortion, and ever-evolving pattern. Various sizes of concentric square windows of the reference image are used for computing the cross-correlation field. Parameters of cross-correlation field such as peak value, location of the peak, and standard deviation are determined. the location of the peak correlation, instead of its peak value, is chosen as an indicator which best describes the performance of registration, since the location remains unchanged for certain sizes of the window. this location represents the translation shift of the images or the offset of the registration. these windows cover a major portion of the auto-correlation area of the reference image. the standard deviation of the cross-correlation field between search and references images reaches its maximum for these window sizes which are considered as optimal.

An important part of most video compression techniques is displacement vector estimation, which in many situations is achieved by Block Matching algorithms (BMA). traditional BMA uses costly integer arithmetic on 8-bitimages to minimize a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) criterion that determines the displacement estimate. In this paper, we present an approach for motion estimation based on binary edged images. Specifically, we assign an intensity gradient vector to each edge pixel and apply BMA to the gradient vector. Our approach can potentially reduce the complexity of the VLSI implementation of motion estimation algorithms. We present simulation results comparing this technique to traditional BMA over several 50-frame sequences.
