This limitation notably hinders their performance in inverting complex subsurface structures, such as salt bodies. Second, the current inversion frameworks are prone to overfitting, particularly when trained on limited seismic datasets. To address these challenges, we propose SwinInver, a novel backbone network that integrates the Swin Transformer as its fundamental unit, coupled with a high-resolution network design to facilitate comprehensive global modeling of intricate subsurface structures.

This will significantly enhance the efficiency of digital rock analysis and related computational simulations. This study used scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of shale from a certain region in China to investigate the relationship between the microscopic structure of shale pores and the macroscopic permeability.

{"title":"Introducing a new index for flood mapping using Sentinel-2 imagery (SFMI)","authors":"Hadi Farhadi ,&nbsp;Hamid Ebadi ,&nbsp;Abbas Kiani ,&nbsp;Ali Asgary","doi":"10.1016/j.cageo.2024.105742","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.cageo.2024.105742","url":null,"abstract":"<div><div>Accurate surface water detection and mapping using Remote Sensing (RS) imagery is crucial for effective water and flood management and for supporting natural ecosystems and human development. In recent years, RS technology and satellite image processing have significantly advanced in flood and permanent water extraction, particularly in water index, clustering, classification, and sub-pixel analysis. Water-index-based techniques, distinguished by their quickness and convenience, offer notable advantages. The dynamic and extensive nature of surface water and flooded areas make the water index particularly effective for monitoring large areas. However, challenges arise due to the complexity of ground surfaces in aquatic environments, including shadows in built-up, vegetated, and mountainous regions, narrow water bodies, and muddy water. This research presents a new Flood Mapping Index using Sentinel-2 imagery (SFMI) designed to address these challenges and identify water and flooded areas more accurately. The SFMI utilizes visible and near-infrared bands derived from Sentinel-2 data, employing 10-m bands to compensate for errors arising from spectral and spatial changes more effectively. The SFMI index is designed based on the spectral signatures of various land cover classes, utilizing the potential of 10-m resolution bands to identify water bodies and flood areas. Unlike the most conventional methods, the SFMI identifies and extracts water and flood regions without complex thresholding, and thus mitigates the impact of irrelevant features, such as dense vegetation and rugged topography on the flood and water body maps. The proposed index was tested in two large areas with high spectral diversity, yielding promising results. The SFMI index demonstrates an average overall accuracy of 97.1% for pre-flood water extraction, 97.95% for post-flood water extraction, and 98% for flooded area extraction. Moreover, the results showed an average kappa coefficient of 0.958 for pre-flood water extraction, 0.965 for post-flood water extraction, and 0.978 for flooded area extraction. The performance of the SFMI index for extracting flooded areas (ΔSFMI) is superior to its performance for water extraction both before and after the flood. However, it is essential to note that the accuracy of the flooded area map is contingent on the accuracy of the water area map both before and after the flood. Thus, the SFMI index based on 10-m Sentinel-2 imagery accurately detects floods and water bodies over time, without relying on thresholding, making it suitable for flood management and monitoring various water bodies like dams, lakes, wetlands, and rivers. The findings underscore the applicability of the proposed SFMI index in diverse and spectrally rich areas, demonstrating its effectiveness in monitoring various surface water bodies, detecting floods, and managing flood crises.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55221,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Geosciences","volume":"194 ","pages":"Article 105742"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142659027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Derived from the inversion of these travel times, V_P (P-wave velocity) and V_S (S-wave velocity) are pivotal in geotechnical engineering, correlating directly with dynamic soil properties and enabling calculations of Poisson's Ratio (<strong>ν</strong>), Young's modulus (E), Shear modulus (μ), and Bulk modulus (B). Both V_P and V_S are crucial for evaluating soil behaviour under various conditions, aiding in modelling soil for settlement, wave propagation, seismic wave interaction, liquefaction potential analysis, seismic response analysis, and many more. The selection of arrival times for seismic tests, including Crosshole, Downhole, and Uphole tests, is done manually, which is time-consuming and potentially erroneous. To address this issue, various algorithms have been developed to automate the picking process. Some of these algorithms use wavelet transforms and Bayesian information criteria, while others use machine learning techniques such as artificial neural networks. These methods vary in terms of their accuracy, yet each one possesses inherent limitations when it comes to processing data with different levels of signal-to-noise ratio. The advancement of automated algorithms for determining arrival times is an ongoing and dynamic field of research. Apart from the existing research focused on determining the arrival time of P waves, there is a dearth of studies investigating the detection of S wave arrival times. To fill this gap, this study proposes new approaches for detecting both P and S wave arrival time(s). One approach entails the utilization of an iterative optimization algorithm to accurately fit a curve to the leading edge of the P waveform. The arrival time is determined by calculating a fraction relative to the highest point obtained from the fitted peak. The second approach entails identifying the exact moment of the S wave's arrival by determining the points of intersection between the oppositely polarized S waveforms. These methods provide a promising approach for automatically detecting both P and S wave arrival time(s), which has the potential to improve the precision and efficiency in picking up arrival time(s).</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55221,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Geosciences","volume":"194 ","pages":"Article 105746"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142554641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
