Fault Identification Technology Of Ant Attribute Optimization, Li Hongwei, Bai Xuelian, Cui Jingbin, Wan Zhonghong, Yuan Shihong, Chu Wanchang

Coal Geology & Exploration

In the field of seismic geological exploration, the ant attributes is more and more widely used for rapid identification of fault system, and in the process of practical application, ant attributes based on 3D seismic data extraction are displayed either along strata slice(plan) or in section, the features of fault system and distribution characteristics of seismic events is not corresponding to the actual situation, the application effect is poorer, fault interpretation work is given priority to with manual interpretation backbone profile, unable to realize fault automatic tracking. In view of this widespread situation, this paper studies and analyzes the actual …


Digital Holography Efficiency Experiments For Tactical Applications, Douglas E. Thornton Sep 2019

Digital Holography Efficiency Experiments For Tactical Applications, Douglas E. Thornton

Theses and Dissertations

Digital holography (DH) uses coherent detection and offers direct access to the complex-optical field to sense and correct image aberrations in low signal-to-noise environments, which is critical for tactical applications. The performance of DH is compared to a similar, well studied deep-turbulence wavefront sensor, the self-referencing interferometer (SRI), with known efficiency losses. Wave optics simulations with deep-turbulence conditions and noise were conducted and the results show that DH outperforms the SRI by 10's of dB due to DH's strong reference. Additionally, efficiency experiments were conducted to investigate DH system losses. The experimental results show that the mixing efficiency (37%) is …


Near-Field Effects On Partially Coherent Light Scattered By An Aperture, Milo W. Hyde Iv, Michael J. Havrilla Aug 2019

Near-Field Effects On Partially Coherent Light Scattered By An Aperture, Milo W. Hyde Iv, Michael J. Havrilla

Faculty Publications

We investigate how the near field affects partially coherent light scattered from an aperture in an opaque screen. Prior work on this subject has focused on the role of surface plasmons, and how they affect spatial coherence is well documented. Here, we consider other near-field effects that might impact spatial coherence. We do this by examining the statistics of the near-zone field scattered from an aperture in a perfect electric conductor plane—a structure that does not support surface plasmons. We derive the near-field statistics (in particular, cross-spectral density functions) by applying electromagnetic equivalence theorems and the Method of Moments. We …
