Title: Method for generating predictive chance maps of petroleum system elements
Inventor: ANDREW DAVIES
IPC: G06Q50/10
Filed: 2018-05-08
Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to generating chance maps. More specifically, the disclosure relates to a method for generating predictive chance maps illustrating the potential presence of petroleum systems elements at a geographical location from Earth system models. When exploring for hydrocarbons in frontier basins or plays, being able to meaningfully predict the presence and quality of petroleum systems elements is important. Traditionally Earth system models have been used to assist this prediction by generating definitive "yes" or "no" predictions about the presence of the petroleum systems elements. That is, the methods provide a "drill here" solution for an operator to encounter source rocks. These traditional methods often fail to account for uncertainties in the model inputs and Earth system simulations. Without accounting for such uncertainties, the traditional methods offer an operator a false level of precision with the predictions. Further, the "yes" or "no" definitive predictions do not provide a prediction that is consistent with the level of precision permitted by the modeling technique.

Filed: 2021-02-03
Abstract: A method of controlling an imaging system for a Head Mounted Display (HMD) device comprises capturing an external scene 305, for example using a camera; determining an attenuation pattern, based on a virtual (VR) object 300, for rendering a filter area 310, e.g. at a light attenuator (124, Figure 2); determining based on the captured external scene a compensation pattern for compensating at least part of the filter area, e.g. modulating colour (RGB) values and/or intensity in an edge region 315 forming part of filter area 310; attenuating the external scene using the attenuation pattern; and generating a holographic image of a virtual object, to be displayed in an external scene, the holographic image including the compensation pattern. The amount of attenuation (e.g. dimming) may vary in accordance with the difference between luminance of the captured external scene and luminance of the holographic image. The attenuation pattern may be based on the area occupied by the virtual object when displayed in the external scene, or based on eye characteristic data of an HMD wearer, such as a user-specific configuration setting, eye pupil dilation size or pupil gaze direction. Compensation pattern pixels may be smoothed.

Title: Efficient graphical processing in 360-degree spherical space
Inventor: CAMPBELL MORGAN
IPC: G06T19/20
Filed: 2020-09-18
Abstract: Blur is applied to a weighted combination of initial and shifted (by azimuthal angle of π radians) 2D representation of 360° spherical image data spanning azimuthal angles of -π ≤ φ < π, where spherical image data between -π ≤ φ < 0 represents the same data as at π ≤ φ < 2π. Each representation is blurred, then combined by blending pixel values. A weighting function determines the weight of each to the output, the function providing a minimum at a discontinuity (127). Blur effect can therefore extend across discontinuities. Alternatively, 360° spherical space image data (e.g. single video frame) are blurred (e.g. bloom) by identifying two great circles 106, 112 intersecting orthogonally at a pixel (P2, at θ0,φ0). The great circles are mapped to a 2D representation of the image data and used as orthogonal axes to define a blur area. Points (P1, P2,…Pn in fig. 10, at θi,φi) along each great circle (e.g. spaced evenly) form 1D sampling arrays which are swept across the 2D image data in two orthogonal directions. A VR or AR user views geometrically accurate graphical processing effects on the inner surface of a virtual sphere, without distortion from using a 2D kernel.
