Dilation Rate

Brain tumor classification is a challenging task in the field of medical image processing. Technology has now enabled medical doctors to have additional aid for diagnosis. We aim to classify brain tumors using MRI images, which were collected from anonymous patients and artificial brain simulators. In this article, we carry out a comparative study between Simple Artificial Neural Networks with dropout, Basic Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), and Dilated Convolutional Neural Networks. The experimental results shed light on the high classification performance (accuracy 97%) of Dilated CNN. On the other hand, Dilated CNN suffers from the gridding phenomenon. An incremental, even number dilation rate takes advantage of the reduced computational overhead and also overcomes the adverse effects of gridding. Comparative analysis between different combinations of dilation rates for the different convolution layers, help validate the results. The computational overhead in terms of efficiency for training the model to reach an acceptable threshold accuracy of 90% is another parameter to compare the model performance.

The Brain

The brain tumors, are the most common and aggressive disease, leading to a very short life expectancy in their highest grade. Thus, treatment planning is a key stage to improve the quality of life of patients. Generally, various image techniques such as Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and ultrasound image are used to evaluate the tumor in a brain, lung, liver, breast, prostate…etc. Especially, in this work MRI images are used to diagnose tumor in the brain. However the huge amount of data generated by MRI scan thwarts manual classification of tumor vs non-tumor in a particular time. But it having some limitation (i.e) accurate quantitative measurements is provided for limited number of images. Hence trusted and automatic classification scheme are essential to prevent the death rate of human. The automatic brain tumor classification is very challenging task in large spatial and structural variability of surrounding region of brain tumor. In this work, automatic brain tumor detection is proposed by using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) classification. The deeper architecture design is performed by using small kernels. The weight of the neuron is given as small. Experimental results show that the CNN archives rate of 97.5% accuracy with low complexity and compared with the all other state of arts methods.

Rock Microstructure

Abstract Tight gas sandstone reservoirs vary widely in terms of rock type, depositional environment, mineralogy and petrophysical properties. For this reason, estimating their permeability is a challenge when core is not available because it is a property that cannot be measured directly from wire-line logs. The aim of this work is to create an automatic tool for rock microstructure classification as a first step for future permeability prediction. Permeability can be estimated from porosity measured using wire-line data such as derived from density-neutron tools. However, without additional information this is highly inaccurate because porosity-permeability relationships are controlled by the microstructure of samples and permeability can vary by over five orders of magnitude. Experts can broadly estimate porosity-permeability relationships by analysing the microstructure of rocks using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) or optical microscopy. Such estimates are, however, subjective and require many years of experience. A Machine Learning model for the automation of rock microstructure determination on tight gas sandstones has been built using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and trained on backscattered images from cuttings. Current results were obtained by training the model on around 24,000 Back Scattering Electron Microscopy (BSEM) images from 25 different rock samples. The obtained model performance for the current dataset are 97% of average of both validation and test categorical accuracy. Also, loss of 0.09 and 0.089 were obtained for validation and test correspondingly. Such high accuracy and low loss indicate an overall great model performance. Other metrics and debugging techniques such Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM), Receiver Operator Characteristics (ROC) and Area Under the Curve (AUC) were considered for the model performance evaluation obtaining positive results. Nevertheless, this can be improved by obtaining images from new already available samples and make the model generalizes better. Current results indicate that CNNs are a powerful tool and their application over thin section images is an answer for image analysis and classification problems. The use of this classifier removes the subjectivity of estimating porosity-permeability relationships from microstructure and can be used by non-experts. The current results also open the possibility of a data driven permeability prediction based on rock microstructure and porosity from well logs.

Machine Learning Models

<p>Machine learning is being presented as a new solution for a wide range of geoscience problems. Primarily machine learning has been used for 3D seismic data processing, seismic facies analysis and well log data correlation. The rapid development in technology with open-source artificial intelligence libraries and the accessibility of affordable computer graphics processing units (GPU) makes the application of machine learning in geosciences increasingly tractable. However, the application of artificial intelligence in structural interpretation workflows of subsurface datasets is still ambiguous. This study aims to use machine learning techniques to classify images of folds and fold-thrust structures. Here we show that convolutional neural networks (CNNs) as supervised deep learning techniques provide excellent algorithms to discriminate between geological image datasets. Four different datasets of images have been used to train and test the machine learning models. These four datasets are a seismic character dataset with five classes (faults, folds, salt, flat layers and basement), folds types with three classes (buckle, chevron and conjugate), fault types with three classes (normal, reverse and thrust) and fold-thrust geometries with three classes (fault bend fold, fault propagation fold and detachment fold). These image datasets are used to investigate three machine learning models. One Feedforward linear neural network model and two convolutional neural networks models (Convolution 2d layer transforms sequential model and Residual block model (ResNet with 9, 34, and 50 layers)). Validation and testing datasets forms a critical part of testing the model’s performance accuracy. The ResNet model records the highest performance accuracy score, of the machine learning models tested. Our CNN image classification model analysis provides a framework for applying machine learning to increase structural interpretation efficiency, and shows that CNN classification models can be applied effectively to geoscience problems. The study provides a starting point to apply unsupervised machine learning approaches to sub-surface structural interpretation workflows.</p>
