The present invention belongs to the technical field of petroleum exploitation engineering, and discloses a 3D modeling method for cementing hydrate sediment based on a CT image. Indoor remolding rock cores or in situ site rock cores without hydrate can be scanned by CT; a sediment matrix image stack and a pore image stack are obtained by gray threshold segmentation; then, a series of cementing hydrate image stacks with different saturations are constructed through image morphological processing of the sediment matrix image stack such as dilation, erosion and image subtraction operation; and a series of digital rock core image stacks of the cementing hydrate sediment with different saturations are formed through image subtraction operation and splicing operation to provide a relatively real 3D model for the numerical simulation work of the basic physical properties of a reservoir of natural gas hydrate.

Various techniques are provided for performing automated full-cell segmentation and labeling in immunofluorescent microscopy. These techniques perform membrane segmentation and nuclear seed detection separate and independently from each other, then combine their results to identify cell boundaries. Some embodiments use texture- and kernel-based image processing to perform the method. In some embodiments, the method for obtaining membrane features disclosed herein can be used in conjunction with or separate from the nuclear features. The results can be used for a variety of purposes, including whole-area cell segmentation in fluorescence-based tissue imaging.

Examples described herein relate to automatic identification and transformation of a color region. A user can identify a region of a video frame or image that corresponds to a color region that is to be segmented. A color region can include one or more colors that appear to be approximately a uniform color. For one or more video frames, gamma correction can be applied to frames of the video. One or more frames of a video can be mapped to two color spaces. For each pixel in an image, a determination is made if the pixel has the same color as that of the identified region based on each of the at least two color spaces identifying the pixel as the color. The color region can be identified throughout a video and transformed to another color to aid in video editing.

A method of determining a coverage of an image by an apparatus including processing circuitry includes executing, by the processing circuitry, instructions that cause the apparatus to generate a first segmentation mask by segmenting an image, generate a modified mask by applying a morphological operation to the first segmentation mask, generate a modified masked input based on the image and an inversion of the modified mask, generate a second segmentation mask by segmenting the modified masked input, and determine a coverage of the image based on the first segmentation mask and the second segmentation mask.

A method performed by a mobile device for handling identification of equipment. The mobile device records an image, in a recording direction at a first location, of the equipment. Upon recording the image, the mobile device further obtains one or more radiation indications for determining a direction of radiation from the equipment; and provides the obtained one or more radiation indications associated with the recorded image, to an internal identifying process at the mobile device and/or a network node for identifying the equipment.
