The role of occlusion in the perception of depth, lightness, and opacity.

A theory is presented that explains how the visual system infers the lightness, opacity, and depth of surfaces from stereoscopic images. It is shown that the polarity and magnitude of image contrast play distinct roles in surface perception, which can be captured by 2 principles of perceptual inference. First, a contrast depth asymmetry principle articulates how the visual system computes the ordinal depth and lightness relationships from the polarity of local, binocularly matched image contrast. Second, a global transmittance anchoring principle expresses how variations in contrast magnitudes are used to infer the presence of transparent surfaces. It is argued that these principles provide a unified explanation of how the visual system computes the 3-D surface structure of opaque and transparent surfaces.

煤层物性测井评价方法初探

依据煤岩的赋存方式和结构特点，利用电阻率和井径测井资料在不同煤质结构的煤层所表现的差异性，建立了2个指标(即深侧向电阻率与微球电阻率之间的比值，井径与钻头之间的比值)对煤质结构进行了准确的识别。用多元回归的概率模型建立了煤岩镜质反射率的测井计算模式，其结果与已有的煤心分析数据对比，两者具有较好的一致性。在综合分析的基础上，对煤层的重要物性参数煤阶、煤质结构进行了测井评价。     

An improved analysis of experimental data from 125 I hot-line autoradiographs: allowing for the effects of background grains

In this paper we suggest a new statistical method of correcting the results of hot-line experiments for the effects of background sources and we use the new method to reassess the adequacy of three probability distributions proposed in the literature for image spread from line sources. The data are from sources labelled with ¹²⁵I in semi-thin resin sections 0·4-0·8 μm in thickness. The new method reveals that two of the models describe the empirical distributions more closely than earlier analysis had suggested, and it confirms an increasing relationship between half distance of image spread and the thickness of the source. However, it also confirms that considerable ‘inter hot-line’ experimental variation remains, even after background correction. This suggests that multiple experiments are needed to produce reliable estimates of half distance.     

川西低渗气藏单井地应力计算方法综合研究

四川盆地新场气田是一个低孔低渗的裂缝性砂岩气田，储层物性差，自然产能低，需经压裂后才能投产，压裂后气井增加的产能与压裂的效果密切相关。提前认识储层当前地应力的特征，有助于压裂设计时确定裂缝产状、缝长、缝宽等参数，减少储层水力压裂改造的盲目性，降低中、低渗透油气田开发的风险。通过大量测井资料的计算，确定了新场气田储层地应力的大小和方向，并综合采用微地震测量、岩石声发射资料、古地磁等岩心测试资料和水力压裂等多种方法进行交互验证，各种方法求得的地应力特征十分相近，说明利用测井资料求取储集层地应力原理简单，计算结果符合实际的地应力特征，是一种低风险研究计算储层地应力特征的方法，可以用于指导低渗透油气田的井网部署和储层的单井压裂改造。     

Salt-water up-coning during extraction of fresh water from a tropical island

Rainwater can collect in a lens-shaped region within the rock of a tropical island, and may be separated from the underlying salt water by a sharp interface. This paper presents a nonlinear theory for determining the shape of this interface. The island is assumed to be saturated with rain, and provision is made for the outflow of rain-water through the sides of the island. The effect of a bore well on the shape of the interface is investigated, and the problem is solved using a spectral method. An integral-equation method is also presented for the case when the island has infinite width.     

A VLSI architecture for a half-edge-based corner detector

Corner detection is a low-level feature detection operator that is of great use in image processing applications, for example, optical flow and structure from motion by image correspondence. The detection of corners is a computationally intensive operation. Past implementations of corner detection techniques have been restricted to software. In this paper we propose an efficient very large-scale integration (VLSI) architecture for detection of corners in images. The corner detection technique is based on the half-edge concept and the first directional derivative of Gaussian. Apart from the location of the corner points, the algorithm also computes the corner orientation and the corner angle and outputs the edge map of the image. The symmetrical properties of the masks are utilized to reduce the number of convolutions effectively, from eight to two. Therefore, the number of multiplications required per pixel is reduced from 1800 to 392. Thus, the proposed architecture yields a speed-up factor of 4.6 over conventional convolution architectures. The architecture uses the principles of pipelining and parallelism and can be implemented in VLSI.

测井曲线在识别陈家庄凸起北部缓坡带层序边界中的应用

针对陈家庄凸起北部缓坡带特殊的沉积、构造特征．应用测井曲线来识别层序边界。应用自然电位和电阻率测井曲线的组合来确定层序边界，可根据自然电位基线强烈偏移、视电阻率的突增或突减等异常现象的出现来判别；利用声波时差和电阻率曲线的叠合，在层序边界处常对应△logR的低谷值；应用累计倾角图来识别层序边界优于常规的地层倾角．累计倾角的一阶导数更能突出异常点的位置。测井曲线应用于识别层序边界，有其自身的优势，在该研究区取得了较好的效果。
