First, the image is segmented to generate superpixel objects using the simple linear iterative clustering algorithm, and the normalized difference water index (NDWI) is calculated for each object.

However, existing lunar DEMs face significant limitations, such as insufficient resolution, incomplete data coverage, and errors arising from observational and processing methods. These limitations hinder their effectiveness in high-precision terrain analysis and practical applications. To address these challenges, this study proposes an adaptive regularized variational model with curvature smoothing constraints, aiming to robustly fuse multi-source DEMs with varying resolutions, noise levels, and data voids. The proposed model incorporates two key innovations: a weighted data fidelity term that dynamically adjusts based on slope anomaly detection and ensures accuracy consistency across multi-scale DEMs, and a curvature-constrained total variation regularization term that suppresses noise and artifacts while preserving terrain details. The variational problem is solved iteratively using the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers, enabling the seamless integration of multi-source DEMs. Experimental validations on simulated and real lunar south pole datasets demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method, achieving significant improvements in noise suppression, artifact removal, void filling, and terrain detail preservation.

However, prediction of these petrophysical properties from elastic parameters presents considerable difficulties due to the complex nonlinear relationships between measurements of different physical properties of rocks, while relevant research literature remains limited. Conventional approaches typically employ multivariate regression techniques to transform P-wave velocity (Vp), S-wave velocity (Vs), and density (Den/ρ) into GR and NPHI. However, these regression methods are constrained during application due to their adoption of single-point mapping structures and linear mapping relationships, which consequently reduce prediction accuracy. To overcome these limitations, this study proposes an approach that predicts GR and NPHI by leveraging the waveform structures of data within a closed-loop deep learning fusion network. Input samples were constructed from the waveform structure of data to capture the temporal characteristics neglected by single-point inputs, thereby resolving the non-unique mapping to data. To address the complex nonlinear relationships, a fusion network of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), a Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (BiGRU), and an attention mechanism was established (STABGCN). This network design enables the extraction of sequential features along well trajectory, captures spatial patterns across the entire field area, and optimizes feature weighting through attention mechanisms. A closed-loop deep learning network was constructed and trained using a semi-supervised learning approach to improve its generalization capability by leveraging the abundance of unlabeled elastic parameter data. The Dongying Sag was selected as the study area for method validation and application, specifically, the feasibility of predicting GR and NPHI based on elastic parameters is systematically evaluated from three perspectives: the correlation between these parameters, the characteristics of their waveform structures, and how forward and inversion deep learning networks perform in prediction accuracy. Numerical and field data validation demonstrated that the proposed method significantly improved prediction accuracy.

TLG is a non-invasive geophysical method that can be used to monitor spatiotemporal variability of groundwater storage changes. At the software’s core is a site-independent coupled hydrogravimetric model that accurately simulates TLG data. Using a range of advanced optimization and uncertainty analysis approaches in a Bayesian context, built around the hydrogravimetric model, the framework assimilates TLG data to estimate parameters, make predictions, and quantify uncertainty across diverse problem scales. In doing so, it accounts for both parameter priors and observation uncertainty, enabling a probabilistic uncertainty analysis. The framework can perform a coupled hydrogravimetric inversion assimilating TLG data individually or jointly with hydrological observations. To illustrate some of the core capacities of the framework, we apply it to a simple groundwater model and explore the propagation of observation uncertainty to parameter and model predictions. The results show that TLG can accurately estimate model parameters and significantly reduce uncertainty in parameters and predictions, both when assimilated individually and jointly with hydraulic head data, provided that the signal-to-noise (SNR) is sufficiently high.
