<p>Automated image processing algorithms can improve the quality, efficiency, and consistency of classifying the morphology of heterogeneous carbonate rock and can deal with a massive amount of data and images seamlessly. Geoscientists and petroleum engineers face difficulties in setting the direction of the optimum method for determining petrophysical properties from core plug images of optical thin-sections, Micro-Computed Tomography (μCT), or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Most of the successful work is from the homogeneous and clastic rocks focusing on 2D images with less focus on 3D and requiring numerical simulation. Currently, image analysis methods converge to three approaches: image processing, artificial intelligence, and combined image processing with artificial intelligence. In this work, we propose two methods to determine the porosity from 3D μCT and MRI images: an image processing method with Image Resolution Optimized Gaussian Algorithm (IROGA); advanced image recognition method enabled by Machine Learning Difference of Gaussian Random Forest (MLDGRF).</p><p>Meanwhile, we have built reference 3D micro models and collected images for calibration of the IROGA and MLDGRF methods. To evaluate the predictive capability of these calibrated approaches, we ran them on 3D μCT and MRI images of natural heterogeneous carbonate rock. We also measured the porosity and lithology of the carbonate rock using three and two industry-standard ways, respectively, as reference values. Notably, IROGA and MLDGRF have produced porosity results with an accuracy of 96.2% and 97.1% on the training set and 91.7% and 94.4% on blind test validation, respectively, in comparison with the three experimental measurements. We measured limestone and pyrite reference values using two methods, X-ray powder diffraction, and grain density measurements. MLDGRF has produced lithology (limestone and pyrite) volume fractions with an accuracy of 97.7% in comparison to reference measurements.</p>

Signale and image processing has always been the main tools in many area and in particular in Medical and Biomedical applications. Nowadays, there are great number of toolboxes, general purpose and very specialized, in which classical techniques are implemented and can be used: all the transformation based methods (Fourier, Wavelets, ...) as well as model based and iterative regularization methods. Statistical methods have also shown their success in some area when parametric models are available. Bayesian inference based methods had great success, in particular, when the data are noisy, uncertain, incomplete (missing values) or with outliers and where there is a need to quantify uncertainties. In some applications, nowadays, we have more and more data. To use these “Big Data” to extract more knowledge, the Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence tools have shown success and became mandatory. However, even if in many domains of Machine Learning such as classification and clustering these methods have shown success, their use in real scientific problems are limited. The main reasons are twofold: First, the users of these tools cannot explain the reasons when the are successful and when they are not. The second is that, in general, these tools can not quantify the remaining uncertainties. Model based and Bayesian inference approach have been very successful in linear inverse problems. However, adjusting the hyper parameters is complex and the cost of the computation is high. The Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Deep Learning (DL) tools can be useful for pushing farther these limits. At the other side, the Model based methods can be helpful for the selection of the structure of CNN and DL which are crucial in ML success. In this work, I first provide an overview and then a survey of the aforementioned methods and explore the possible interactions between them.

Vision Based systems have become an integral part when it comes to autonomous driving. The autonomous industry has seen a made large progress in the perception of environment as a result of the improvements done towards vision based systems. As the industry moves up the ladder of automation, safety features are coming more and more into the focus. Different safety measurements have to be taken into consideration based on different driving situations. One of the major concerns of the highest level of autonomy is to obtain the ability of understanding both internal and external situations. Most of the research made on vision based systems are focused on image processing and artificial intelligence systems like machine learning and deep learning. Due to the current generation of technology being the generation of “Connected World”, there is no lack of data any more. As a result of the introduction of internet of things, most of these connected devices are able to share and transfer data. Vision based techniques are techniques that are hugely depended on these vision based data.

Recent years have witnessed the rapid development of machine learning in solving artificial intelligence (AI) tasks in many domains, including translation, speech, image, etc. Within these domains, AI tasks are usually not independent. As a specific type of relationship, structural duality does exist between many pairs of AI tasks, such as translation from one language to another vs. its opposite direction, speech recognition vs. speech synthetization, image classification vs. image generation, etc. The importance of such duality has been magnified by some recent studies, which revealed that it can boost the learning of two tasks in the dual form. However, there has been little investigation on how to leverage this invaluable relationship into the inference stage of AI tasks. In this paper, we propose a general framework of dual inference which can take advantage of both existing models from two dual tasks, without re-training, to conduct inference for one individual task. Empirical studies on three pairs of specific dual tasks, including machine translation, sentiment analysis, and image processing have illustrated that dual inference can significantly improve the performance of each of individual tasks.

Image processing has become one of the most important branches of computer science, especially after entering into several areas of life such as medicine, engineering and various sciences. In our current research, we have developed a system of image recognition based on image characteristics and some content information using the most important artificial intelligence algorithms, a fuzzy logic algorithm, to obtain complete image information using small values ranging from 0 to 1. The program was executed on a set of standard database called the WANG database. It holds the contents of 1000 images from the Corel stock photo database, in JPEG format. The system was evaluated using the recall method. This method calculates the proportion of correct results identified by the system as correct results with correct result identified by the classic system.
