A matching pursuit technique composed with an imaging method is used to obtain quantitative information on geological records from seismic data. The technique is based on a greedy non-linear search algorithm decomposing data into atoms. These atoms are drawn from a redundant dictionary of seismic waveforms. Fractional splines are used to define this dictionary, whose elements are not only desig...

Stochastic reservoir models must honor as much input data as possible to be reliable numerical models of the reservoir under study. Traditional simulation algorithms are unable to honor either complex geological/morphological patterns or engineering data from well tests. The technique developed in this dissertation may be used to incorporate such information into stochastic reservoir models. Th...

There are examples of using stones of the cultural heritage for teaching purposes. Information systems have found several potential uses in the promotion and preservation of cultural heritage. In this paper is considered the conceptual framework of an information system concerning features of geological interest (FGI) in the built heritage (without any consideration in terms of its software imp...

Introduction: A long-standing, fundamental question in planetary geoscience is: "How similar are the geological histories of Earth and Venus, and when and how did their evolution diverge?" Did Venus once have oceans and a more Earth-like climate, as suggested by Pioneer-Venus data [1]? If so, when, how, and why did it transition to current conditions, and are traces of this early period, and th...

Digital image processing techniques were used for mapping structural features using a medium resolution image (ETM+) from Landsat 7. The aim of this study is to utilize remote sensed data and digital image processing techniques for updating the structural map in the north eastern part of the Dead Sea (Ma’in area), Jordan. The study area is becoming an important target for geological survey acti...

The data from the Rosetta mission have permitted a reconstruction of shape comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and an identification terrains features forming surface. peculiar has made it challenging to project these geological onto unambiguous frame. As result, maps published date are created on top images, making them dependent viewing angle image resolution. To overcome this limitation, we pres...
