Augmented Reality (AR) annotations are a powerful way of communication when collaborators cannot be present at the same time in a given environment. However, this situation presents several challenges, for example: how to record the AR annotations for later consumption, how to align virtual and real world in unprepared environments or how to offer the annotations to users with different AR devices. In this paper we present a cross-device AR annotation method that allows users to create and display annotations asynchronously in environments without the need for prior preparation (AR markers, point cloud capture, etc.). This is achieved through an easy user-assisted calibration process and a data model that allows any type of annotation to be stored on any device. The experimental study carried out with 40 participants has verified our two hypotheses: we are able to visualize AR annotations in indoor environments without prior preparation regardless of the device used and the overall usability of the system is satisfactory.

Qibla direction calibration is something that is very urgent in order to achieve accuracy and accuracy in facing the Qibla. Technological developments in the industrial era 4.0 require the use of technology that is easier to carry out the calibration process. Google earth which displays a virtual image of the actual earth can be an alternative in fulfilling this. This study provides a detailed description of the use of Google Earth as a Qibla direction calibrator. The method used in this research is descriptive analytical with a scientific approach. The results of this study indicate that google earth can be used as an alternative to calibrate the Qibla direction. By knowing in detail the latitude and longitude coordinates where Google Earth can determine the Qibla direction by using the measure distance and area feature (measuring distance and area) drawn straight to the Kaaba position. With regard to accuracy, as long as the location can show the updated position on Google Earth, it will be easier to calibrate, with fairly accurate results.

Abstract Continuous and synchronous calibration process of straightness and roundness for LSAW (Longitudinally Submerged Arc Welding, LSAW) pipes with three rollers is a bidirectional reciprocating bending process that includes axial and circumferential directions. It is particularly important to reveal the deformation mechanism, which provides theoretical support for the calibration process to be applied to actual production. Based on this, through the combination of references, theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, the deformation mechanism is analyzed in this paper. The whole deformation process of pipe is modeled and then numerically simulated with FEM software of ABAQUS. The results show that reciprocating bending can eliminate the difference of initial curvature, so that the axial curvature and circumferential curvature are unified to the same direction and value respectively. The synergy between the axial reciprocating bending straightening process and the circumferential reciprocating bending rounding process realizes the calibration process of LSAW pipes. The simulation results support the theoretical results, and the deformation is mainly caused by axial stress and circumferential stress.

Monitoring environmental factors such as pollutants, relative humidity, light, etc. is needed to ensure a proper preventive conservation of cultural heritage. Since existing systems are expensive and difficult to maintain, we propose as a sustainable alternative the use crowdsourced photographs taken by visitors using their cell phones. These images of a tailor made panel, including sensitive materials and a calibration color chart, are calibrated and colorimetric information extracted from them. The aim of this paper is assessing the robustness of the color chart and the calibration method used, and evaluating how the ageing of the materials of the chart can affect the accuracy of the calibration process. A choice is made between four candidate materials and a set of industrial inks. Several tests have been performed and mathematical metrics extracted, so the most suitable material is adequately selected. It has been checked how the image calibration process, employed for homogenizing information from the crowdsourced pictures, performs with real-life materials and colors to assess the possible degradation that may happen. This work is a part of a bigger project with the aim of building a crowdsourcing-based monitoring system for preventive conservation of cultural heritage.

Abstract The multi-stage fracture treatments create complex fracture networks with various proppant type, size, and concentration distributed within and along fractures through reservoir rock, where larger size and higher concentrations usually result in higher long-term conductivity. To model the fracture conductivity reduction with depletion, we traditionally use a single monotonic relationship between fracture conductivity and pressure, which is proper for a single proppant concentration but obviously hard to describe the situation in the horizontal wells with complex concentration distributions. This paper is to present a new method to speed-up the calibration process of well performance models with multi-million cells and its two applications in the Wolfcamp reservoir in the Delaware Basin. To study well performance and completion effectiveness of 3000 horizontal wells over University Lands acreage in the Permian Basin, we have built a series of well performance models with complex fracture networks (SPE 189855 and 194367). We have used those models to methodically investigate the drivers of well completion parameters and well spacing on well performance and field development value (URTeC 554). In the process of building multiple robust well performance models, we found out it is hard and time-consuming to calibrate a well performance model with multi-million cells based upon a single correlation between fracture conductivity and pressure. We first modeled the complex fracture networks and fracture conductivity distributions based upon the historical completion pumping data; we then developed multiple correlations to characterize fracture conductivity reduction and closure behaviors with pressure depletion based upon initial fracture conductivities (as the result of proppant type, size, and concentration) and reservoir geomechanical properties. We found out that this method significantly reduced our model calibration time. We then applied our method to multiple case studies in the Permian Basin to test and improve the method. We have thus developed a method to mimic the fracture conductivity reduction and closure behavior in the horizontal wells with complex fracture networks. The paper will layout the theoretical foundation and detail our method to develop the multiple correlations to model fracture conductivity reduction and fracture closure behaviors in the horizontal well performance models in the unconventional reservoirs. We will then show two case studies to illustrate how we have applied our method to speed up the model calibration process. Based upon the multiple applications into our model calibration process, we have concluded that the method is very effective to calibrate the well performance model with complex fracture networks. The method can be used for engineers to simplify and speedup calibrating horizontal well performance models. Therefore, engineers can more effectively build more robust well performance models to optimize field development plans in the unconventional reservoirs.

The purpose of this work is the calibration of a numerical model for simulating the interaction of waves with a composite caisson having an internal rubble mound to dissipate incident sea wave energy. In particular, the analysis focused on the reflection coefficient and the pressure distribution at the caisson vertical walls. The numerical model is based on the Volume-Average Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (VARANS) equations. Through three closure terms (linear, nonlinear, and transition), such equations take into account some phenomena that cannot be dealt when the volume-average method is used (i.e., frictional forces, pressure force, and added mass). To reproduce properly the real phenomena, a calibration process of such terms is necessary. The reference data used in the calibration process were obtained from an experimental campaign carried out at the Hydraulics Laboratory of the University of Messina. The calibration process allowed the proper prediction of certain phenomena to be expressed as a function of different closing terms. In particular, it was estimated that the reflection coefficient and the wave loading at the frontal wall are better reproduced when all three terms are considered, while the force at the rear wall is better simulated when the effects of such terms are neglected.

Line-structured light has been widely used in the field of railway measurement, owing to its high capability of anti-interference, fast scanning speed and high accuracy. Traditional calibration methods of line-structured light sensors have the disadvantages of long calibration time and complicated calibration process, which is not suitable for railway field application. In this paper, a fast calibration method based on a self-developed calibration device was proposed. Compared with traditional methods, the calibration process is simplified and the calibration time is greatly shortened. This method does not need to extract light strips; thus, the influence of ambient light on the measurement is reduced. In addition, the calibration error resulting from the misalignment was corrected by epipolar constraint, and the calibration accuracy was improved. Calibration experiments in laboratory and field tests were conducted to verify the effectiveness of this method, and the results showed that the proposed method can achieve a better calibration accuracy compared to a traditional calibration method based on Zhang’s method.
