Title: Removal of surface-wave noise in seismic data
Inventor: KROHN CHRISTINE E
IPC: G01V1/00
Filed: 2009-06-19
Abstract: The invention is a method to predict surface-wave waveforms (306) and subtract them (307) from seismic data.  Prediction is done by estimating a set of surface-consistent components (transfer functions in the frequency domain or impulse responses in time domain) that best represent changes in the waveforms for propagation along the surface from source to receiver (303). The prediction uses a mathematical expression, or model, of the earth's filtering effects, both amplitude and phase, as a function of frequency. The desired surface-consistent components are model parameters, and model optimization is used to solve for the surface-consistent components. The surface-consistent components may include filter transfer functions for each source location, each receiver location, and for propagation (302) through each region (301) of the surface that exhibits lateral variation.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method and apparatus for registering two medical images with one another. A first medical image including a representation of a biological organ of a subject or for a population is obtained and the surface of the organ is identified in the first medical image. The identified surface is then used to construct a 3D geometric surface model of the organ. The geometric model is used to derive a motion model that incorporates information on the physical material properties of the organ and external forces that cause the organ to move and deform. A second medical image including a representation of the organ of the subject (or another subject, in the case that the first medical image is an atlas image) is obtained and an alignment is determined between a first surface normal vector field for the organ surface, derived from the geometric model, and a second surface normal vector field for the organ surface, derived by filtering the second medical image. The alignment accommodates deformation of the geometric model in accordance with the motion predicted by the motion model. The first and second medical images can then be registered with one another based on said determined model-to-image vector alignment (MIVA).
