A SOM-view of oilfield data: A novel vector field visualization for Self-Organizing Maps and its applications in the petroleum industry

چکیده
Self-Organizing Maps are a prominent tool for exploratory analysis and visualization of high-dimensional data. We propose a novel method for visualizing the cluster structure and coherent regions of the Self-Organizing Map that can be displayed as a vector field on top of the map lattice. Concepts of neighborhood and proximity on the map is exploited to obtain a representation where arrows point to the most similar region. The method is especially useful for large maps with a high number of map nodes. In our experiments, we visualize a data set that stems from applications in the petroleum industry, and show how to use our method to maximize the gas output.

The Time Adaptive Self Organizing Map for Distribution Estimation
The feature map represented by the set of weight vectors of the basic SOM (Self-Organizing Map) provides a good approximation to the input space from which the sample vectors come. But the timedecreasing learning rate and neighborhood function of the basic SOM algorithm reduce its capability to adapt weights for a varied environment. In dealing with non-stationary input distributions and changi...

متن کاملLandforms identification using neural network-self organizing map and SRTM data
During an 11 days mission in February 2000 the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) collected data over 80% of the Earth's land surface, for all areas between 60 degrees N and 56 degrees S latitude. Since SRTM data became available, many studies utilized them for application in topography and morphometric landscape analysis. Exploiting SRTM data for recognition and extraction of topographic ...
