Title: 3D modelling of scanned body
Inventor: LIERDE CARL VAN
IPC: G06T17/00
Filed: 2012-09-17
Abstract: A methods modeling a 3D body or object 1 by scanning a determined space 2 divided into elementary spaces 3. Each elementary space being assigned a signed distance parameter and a weight parameter. Each obtained scanned point 4 possibly modifies the distance and weight parameters by updating the parameters using new scanned points. In order to increase the details of the model one or more elementary spaces within the determined space is modified in an adaptive manner by subdividing it into higher level elementary spaces 6 which may form an octree. In order to decrease the details of the model, elementary spaces are replaced with lower level elementary spaces. One application of the method is for scanning a dental arch. The weighting may be determined based on uncertainly in the point location such as a Gaussian function within an ellipsoid centered the scanned point, where the long axis of the ellipsoid is defined by the viewing axis of the scanner.

Title: Removing non-orthogonal coherent noise from seismic data
Inventor: NAGARAJAPPA NIRUPAMA
IPC: G01V1/36
Filed: 2013-01-23
Abstract: A method for processing seismic data includes splitting S220 the seismic data in groups, each group including subsets of seismic data for which a distance from a respective shot point to a receiver line in a patch of active detectors corresponding to the shot point is within a predetermined range for the group. Signal data is extracted S230-S250 by subtracting noise from the seismic data in each group. The signal data for each block may be extracted by generating S240 a Hankel matrix and performing S250 a singular value decomposition (SVD) analysis thereof. Another method includes extracting signal data by subtracting from seismic data an estimated noise model obtained by rank reduction of a Hankel matrix followed by dip filtering, enhanced based on a least square matching filter with the seismic data. The method is useful for land acquisition, and can remove non-orthogonal coherent noise.
