Machine learning and image analysis on photos of a solitary tree in a complex background: extraction and analysis of key properties for wind-tree interaction

A method is developed to automatically analyze over 200000 images of a single mature tree. This method is assessed and applied to a tree located at Risø in Roskilde, Denmark, next to two meteorological masts. Image aspects such as the surface area and the center of area are extracted from the images and they are related to the wind statistics....

Modelling of the drilling rates for large diameter offshore foundation piles

In a world where the awareness of global warming and climate change increases, the shift towards sustainable energy is essential. In the upcoming years, an increasing number of offshore wind farms is expected. Over the past years, all the 'best spots' are taken and the new locations in tougher soil conditions or even rock have to be overcome....

Discrete Fracture Networks in carbonate anticlines: An example from the Berda Anticline in Southern Tunisia

Fractures can have a big impact on fluid production from subsurface reservoirs, but direct evidence of their presence is often lacking or ignored until the later stages of reservoir development. Outcrop analogue studies help in understanding and extrapolating fracture data outside the radius of a well. This paper presents the analysis of the...

3D Modeling of a foreland fold and thrust basin in the French sub-Alpine chains

In this report, one can find a summary of the results and the methods used in a BSc-thesis, with as aim to unravel the structural geological situation of a 54 km2 area in the southern French sub-Alps around the village of Plaisians. This was done by using the Move© software-package, provided by Midland Valley. The work was performed in several...
