UPSCALING OF FORMATION PETROPHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS TO A WHOLE CORE SCALE

A method includes imaging, at an imaging resolution, a core of a subsurface formation to create a core image and iteratively performing the following operations until a defined feature of a rock of the subsurface formation exceeds a viewable image feature threshold: extracting a number of subsamples from the core for a first iteration and from each of the number of subsamples previously extracted for a subsequent iteration; increasing the imaging resolution; and imaging each subsample. The method includes performing the following operations for the subsamples last extracted: determining at least one formation property characteristic; determining a guiding rock property for each voxel of the core image and the number of subsample images; and determining a subsample that is a shortest distance to the voxel based on the number of guiding rock properties; and mapping, for each voxel, the at least one formation property characteristic that is the shortest distance.

Directed energy (DE) weapon and passive millimeter wave (PmmW) imager for target tracking

A DE energy weapon and tracking system includes a passive millimeter wave (PmmW) imaging receiver on a common gimbaled telescope to sense natural electromagnetic radiation from a mmW scene. The PmmW imaging receiver operates in a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum distinct from the IR bands associated with thermal blooming or the HEL laser. In the case of a HPM source, the reflected energy is either in a different RF band and/or of diminished amplitude such as to not interfere with operation of the PmmW imaging receiver. Although lower resolution than traditional optical imaging, PmmW imaging provides a viable alternative for target tracking when the DE weapon is actively prosecuting the target and provides additional tracking information when the DE weapon is not engaged.

CROSSTALK MITIGATION FOR MULTI-CELL WORKSPACE MONITORING

Crosstalk mitigation among cameras in neighboring monitored workcells is achieved by computationally defining a noninterference scheme that respects the independent monitoring and operation of each workcell. The scheme may involve communication between adjacent cells to adjudicate non-interfering camera operation or system-wide mapping of interference risks and mitigation thereof. Mitigation strategies can involve time-division and/or frequency-division multiplexing.
