Metric conversion and geophysics

Reservoir geophysics

The concept of petroleum reservoir geophysics is relatively new. In the past, the role of geophysics was largely confined to exploration and, to a lesser degree, the development of discoveries. As cost-efficiency has taken over as a driving force in the economics of the oil and gas industry and as major assets near abandonment, geophysics has increasingly been recognized as a tool for improving...

Digitization and Metric Conversion for Image Quality Test Targets

A common need of the INCITS W1.1 Macro Uniformity, Color Rendition and Micro Uniformity ad hoc teams is to digitize image quality test targets and derive parameters that correlate with image quality assessments. The digitized data should be in a colorimetric color space such as CIELAB and have no spatial artifacts that reduce image quality parameter accuracy. Input digitizers come in many forms...

Foundations of Geophysics and Geochemistry

Lunar Geophysics, Geodesy, and Dynamics

Experience with the dynamics and data analyses for Earth and Moon reveals both similarities and differences. Analysis of Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) data provides information on the lunar orbit, rotation, solid-body tides, and retroreflector locations. Lunar rotational variations have strong sensitivity to moments of inertia and gravity field while weaker variations, including tidal variations, g...
