AbstractThe local slopes contain rich information of the reflection geometry, which can be used to facilitate many subsequent procedures such as seismic velocities picking, normal move out correction, time-domain imaging and structural interpretation. Generally the slope estimation is achieved by manually picking or scanning the seismic profile along various slopes. We present here a deep learning-based technique to automatically estimate the local slope map from the seismic data. In the presented technique, three convolution layers are used to extract structural features in a local window and three fully connected layers serve as a classifier to predict the slope of the central point of the local window based on the extracted features. The deep learning network is trained using only synthetic seismic data, it can however accurately estimate local slopes within real seismic data. We examine its feasibility using simulated and real-seismic data. The estimated local slope maps demonstrate the successful performance of the synthetically-trained network.

The interpretation of key horizons on seismic data is an essential but time-consuming part of the subsurface workflow. This is compounded when surfaces need to be re-interpreted on variations of the same data, such as angle stacks, 4D data, or reprocessed data. Deep learning networks, which are a subset of machine learning, have the potential to automate this reinterpretation process, and significantly increase the efficiency of the subsurface workflow. This study investigates whether a deep learning network can learn from a single horizon interpretation in order to identify that event in a different version of the same data. The results were largely successful with the target horizon correctly identified in an alternative offset stack, and was correctly repositioned in areas where there was misalignment between the training data and the test data.

Abstract The article uses images from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for rail diagnostics. The main advantage of such a solution compared to traditional surveys performed with measuring vehicles is the elimination of decreased train traffic. The authors, in the study, limited themselves to the diagnosis of hazardous split defects in rails. An algorithm has been proposed to detect them with an efficiency rate of about 81% for defects not less than 6.9% of the rail head width. It uses the FCN-8 deep-learning network, implemented in the Tensorflow environment, to extract the rail head by image segmentation. Using this type of network for segmentation increases the resistance of the algorithm to changes in the recorded rail image brightness. This is of fundamental importance in the case of variable conditions for image recording by UAVs. The detection of these defects in the rail head is performed using an algorithm in the Python language and the OpenCV library. To locate the defect, it uses the contour of a separate rail head together with a rectangle circumscribed around it. The use of UAVs together with artificial intelligence to detect split defects is an important element of novelty presented in this work.

Nowadays, Deep Learning tools have been widely applied in biometrics. Electrocardiogram (ECG) biometrics is not the exception. However, the algorithm performances rely heavily on a representative dataset for training. ECGs suffer constant temporal variations, and it is even more relevant to collect databases that can represent these conditions. Nonetheless, the restriction in database publications obstructs further research on this topic. This work was developed with the help of a database that represents potential scenarios in biometric recognition as data was acquired in different days, physical activities and positions. The classification was implemented with a Deep Learning network, BioECG, avoiding complex and time-consuming signal transformations. An exhaustive tuning was completed including variations in enrollment length, improving ECG verification for more complex and realistic biometric conditions. Finally, this work studied one-day and two-days enrollments and their effects. Two-days enrollments resulted in huge general improvements even when verification was accomplished with more unstable signals. EER was improved in 63% when including a change of position, up to almost 99% when visits were in a different day and up to 91% if the user experienced a heartbeat increase after exercise.
