Abstract This paper introduces a novel technique that allows real-time injection monitoring with distributed fiber optics using physics-informed machine learning methods and presents results from Clair Ridge asset where a cloud-based, real-time application is deployed. Clair Ridge is a structural high comprising of naturally fractured Devonian to Carboniferous continental sandstones, with a significantly naturally fractured ridge area. The fractured nature of the reservoir lends itself to permanent deployment of Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) to enable real-time injection monitoring to maximise recovery from the field. In addition to their default limitations, such as providing a snapshot measurement and disturbing the natural well flow with up and down flowing passes, wireline-conveyed production logs (PL) are also unable to provide a high-resolution profile of the water injection along the reservoir due to the completion type. DFOS offers unique surveillance capability when permanently installed along the reservoir interface and continuously providing injection profiles with full visibility along the reservoir section without the need for an intervention. The real-time injection monitoring application uses both distributed acoustic and temperature sensing (DAS & DTS) and is based on physics-informed machine learning models. It is now running and available to all asset users on the cloud. So far, the application has generated high-resolution injection profiles over a dozen multi-rate injection periods automatically and the results are cross-checked against the profiles from the warmback analyses that were also generated automatically as part of the same application. The real-time monitoring insights have been effectively applied to provide significant business value using the capability for start-up optimization to manage and improve injection conformance, monitor fractured formations and caprock monitoring.

Culture remains the cornerstone of diagnosis for pulmonary tuberculosis, but the fastidiousness ofMycobacterium tuberculosismay delay culture-based diagnosis for weeks. We evaluated the performance of real-time high-resolution imaging for the rapid detection ofM. tuberculosiscolonies growing on a solid medium. A total of 50 clinical specimens, including 42 sputum specimens, 4 stool specimens, 2 bronchoalveolar lavage fluid specimens, and 2 bronchial aspirate fluid specimens were prospectively inoculated into (i) a commercially available Middlebrook broth and evaluated for mycobacterial growth indirectly detected by measuring oxygen consumption (standard protocol) and (ii) a home-made solid medium incubated in an incubator featuring real-time high-resolution imaging of colonies (real-time protocol). Isolates were identified by Ziehl-Neelsen staining and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry. Use of the standard protocol yielded 14/50 (28%)M. tuberculosisisolates, which is not significantly different from the 13/50 (26%)M. tuberculosisisolates found using the real-time protocol (P= 1.00 by Fisher's exact test), and the contamination rate of 1/50 (2%) was not significantly different from the contamination rate of 2/50 (4%) using the real-time protocol (P= 1.00). The real-time imaging protocol showed a 4.4-fold reduction in time to detection, 82 ± 54 h versus 360 ± 142 h (P< 0.05). These preliminary data give the proof of concept that real-time high-resolution imaging ofM. tuberculosiscolonies is a new technology that shortens the time to growth detection and the laboratory diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Embedded Linux System

This paper presents the design of a real-time high-definition image acquisition. The hardware platform combines Intel Xscale PXA270 processor, high-resolution camera and SAA7114H. The system is based on the embedded Linux system. Beetween the image sensor and the system memory,there is a quick capture interface.The interface receives the data from the image sensor,and converts the raw image data to a suitable format, and sends H.264 stream to the memory via the DMA channel. The result shows that the design can realize the real-time and high-definition image acquisition in a complicated environment. The advantage of this system is small volume, low power consumption and low cost. It can be widely used in agricultural and hydrological monitoring, intelligent transportation, security monitoring and intelligent home.

Inundation Extent

The real-time flood inundation extent plays an important role in flood disaster preparation and reduction. To date, many approaches have been developed for determining the flood extent, such as hydrodynamic models, digital elevation model-based (DEM-based) methods, and remote sensing methods. However, hydrodynamic methods are time consuming when applied to large floodplains, high-resolution DEMs are not always available, and remote sensing imagery cannot be used alone to predict inundation. In this article, a new model for the highly accurate and rapid simulation of floodplains, called “RFim” (real-time inundation model), is proposed to simulate the real-time flooded area. The model combines remote sensing images with in situ data to find the relationship between the inundation extent and water level. The new approach takes advantage of remote sensing images, which have wide spatial coverage and high resolution, and in situ observations, which have continuous temporal coverage and are easily accessible. This approach has been applied in the study area of East Dongting Lake, representing a large floodplain, for inundation simulation at a 30 m resolution. Compared with the submerged extent from observations, the accuracy of the simulation could be more than 90% (the lowest is 93%, and the highest is 96%). Hence, the approach proposed in this study is reliable for predicting the flood extent. Moreover, an inundation simulation for all of 2013 was performed with daily water level observation data. With an increasing number of Earth observation satellites operating in space and high-resolution mappers deployed on satellites, it will be much easier to acquire large quantities of images with very high resolutions. Therefore, the use of RFim to perform inundation simulations with high accuracy and high spatial resolutions in the future is promising because the simulation model is built on remote sensing imagery and gauging station data.

Vessel navigation through the use of reliable nautical charts is vital to ensure safe passage. Having the ability to complement this with the ability to see accurately both what lies beneath the water and ahead of a vessel in real time provides an added dimension of safety and certainty. Combining the high value and deep draft of modern super and mega yachts with a penchant for exploration creates a tension which can test the availability and accuracy of navigation charts. The development of a 2 metre remote-operated and autonomous-capable surface vehicle with ultra-high-resolution echo-sounder capability provides a unique solution which can open up considerable exploration capability. The ability to produce ultra-high-resolution images and relay these back to the mother vessel in real time enables precise seabed mapping, providing safer navigation. Additionally, it has the capability to deploy personal water-safety devices in situations such as a man-overboard incident.
