This thesis describes advances in the characterisation, calibration and data processing of optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems. Femtosecond (fs) laser inscription was used for producing OCT-phantoms. Transparent materials are generally inert to infra-red radiations, but with fs lasers material modification occurs via non-linear processes when the highly focused light source interacts with the materials. This modification is confined to the focal volume and is highly reproducible. In order to select the best inscription parameters, combination of different inscription parameters were tested, using three fs laser systems, with different operating properties, on a variety of materials. This facilitated the understanding of the key characteristics of the produced structures with the aim of producing viable OCT-phantoms. Finally, OCT-phantoms were successfully designed and fabricated in fused silica. The use of these phantoms to characterise many properties (resolution, distortion, sensitivity decay, scan linearity) of an OCT system was demonstrated. Quantitative methods were developed to support the characterisation of an OCT system collecting images from phantoms and also to improve the quality of the OCT images. Characterisation methods include the measurement of the spatially variant resolution (point spread function (PSF) and modulation transfer function (MTF)), sensitivity and distortion. Processing of OCT data is a computer intensive process. Standard central processing unit (CPU) based processing might take several minutes to a few hours to process acquired data, thus data processing is a significant bottleneck. An alternative choice is to use expensive hardware-based processing such as field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). However, recently graphics processing unit (GPU) based data processing methods have been developed to minimize this data processing and rendering time. These processing techniques include standard-processing methods which includes a set of algorithms to process the raw data (interference) obtained by the detector and generate A-scans. The work presented here describes accelerated data processing and post processing techniques for OCT systems. The GPU based processing developed, during the PhD, was later implemented into a custom built Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) system. This system currently processes and renders data in real time. Processing throughput of this system is currently limited by the camera capture rate. OCTphantoms have been heavily used for the qualitative characterization and adjustment/ fine tuning of the operating conditions of OCT system. Currently, investigations are under way to characterize OCT systems using our phantoms. The work presented in this thesis demonstrate several novel techniques of fabricating OCT-phantoms and accelerating OCT data processing using GPUs. In the process of developing phantoms and quantitative methods, a thorough understanding and practical knowledge of OCT and fs laser processing systems was developed. This understanding leads to several novel pieces of research that are not only relevant to OCT but have broader importance. For example, extensive understanding of the properties of fs inscribed structures will be useful in other photonic application such as making of phase mask, wave guides and microfluidic channels. Acceleration of data processing with GPUs is also useful in other fields.

As massive data sets become increasingly available, people are facing the problem of how to effectively process and understand these data. Traditional sequential computing models are giving way to parallel and distributed computing models, such as MapReduce, both due to the large size of the data sets and their high dimensionality. This dissertation, as in the same direction of other researches that are based on MapReduce, tries to develop effective techniques and applications using MapReduce that can help people solve large-scale problems. Three different problems are tackled in the dissertation. The first one deals with processing terabytes of raster data in a spatial data management system. Aerial imagery files are broken into tiles to enable data parallel computation. The second and third problems deal with dimension reduction techniques that can be used to handle data sets of high dimensionality. Three variants of the nonnegative matrix factorization technique are scaled up to factorize matrices of dimensions in the order of millions in MapReduce based on different matrix multiplication implementations. Two algorithms, which compute CANDECOMP/PARAFAC and Tucker tensor decompositions respectively, are parallelized in MapReduce based on carefully partitioning the data and arranging the computation to maximize data locality and parallelism.

The generation of heterogeneous big data sources with ever increasing volumes, velocities and veracities over the he last few years has inspired the data science and research community to address the challenge of extracting knowledge form big data. Such a wealth of generated data across the board can be intelligently exploited to advance our knowledge about our environment, public health, critical infrastructure and security. In recent years we have developed generic approaches to process such big data at multiple levels for advancing decision-support. It specifically concerns data processing with semantic harmonisation, low level fusion, analytics, knowledge modelling with high level fusion and reasoning. Such approaches will be introduced and presented in context of the TRIDEC project results on critical oil and gas industry drilling operations and also the ongoing large eVacuate project on critical crowd behaviour detection in confined spaces.

New morpho-bathymetric and tectono-stratigraphic data on Naples and Salerno Gulfs, derived from bathymetric and seismic data analysis and integrated geologic interpretation are here presented. The CUBE(Combined Uncertainty Bathymetric Estimator) method has been applied to complex morphologies, such as the Capri continental slope and the related geological structures occurring in the Salerno Gulf.The bathymetric data analysis has been carried out for marine geological maps of the whole Campania continental margin at scales ranging from 1:25.000 to 1:10.000, including focused examples in Naples and Salerno Gulfs, Naples harbour, Capri and Ischia Islands and Salerno Valley. Seismic data analysis has allowed for the correlation of main morpho-structural lineaments recognized at a regional scale through multichannel profiles with morphological features cropping out at the sea bottom, evident from bathymetry.Main fault systems in the area have been represented on a tectonic sketch map, including the master fault located northwards to the Salerno Valley half graben. Some normal faults parallel to the master fault have been interpreted from the slope map derived from bathymetric data. A complex system of antithetic faults bound two morpho-structural highs located 20km to the south of the Capri Island. Some hints of compressional reactivation of normal faults in an extensional setting involving the whole Campania continental margin have been shown from seismic interpretation.

The structure of the Moroccan and Nova Scotia conjugate rifted margins is of key importance for understanding the Mesozoic break-up and evolution of the northern central Atlantic Ocean basin. Seven combined multichannel reflection (MCS) and wide-angle seismic (OBS) data profiles were acquired along the Atlantic Moroccan margin between the latitudes of 31.5° and 33° N during the MIRROR seismic survey in 2011, in order to image the transition from continental to oceanic crust, to study the variation in crustal structure and to characterize the crust under the West African Coast Magnetic Anomaly (WACMA). The data were modeled using a forward modeling approach. The final models image crustal thinning from 36 km thickness below the continent to approximately 8 km in the oceanic domain. A 100 km wide zone characterized by rough basement topography and high seismic velocities up to 7.4 km/s in the lower crust is observed westward of the West African Coast Magnetic Anomaly. No basin underlain by continental crust has been imaged in this region, as has been identified north of our study area. Comparison to the conjugate Nova Scotian margin shows a similar continental crustal thickness and layer geometry, and the existence of exhumed and serpentinized upper mantle material on the Canadian side only. The oceanic crustal thickness is lower on the Canadian margin.

Crosswell data set contains a range of angles limited only by the geometry of the source and receiver configuration, the separation of the boreholes and the depth to the target. However, the wide angles reflections present in crosswell imaging result in amplitude-versus-angle (AVA) features not usually observed in surface data. These features include reflections from angles that are near critical and beyond critical for many of the interfaces; some of these reflections are visible only for a small range of angles, presumably near their critical angle. High-resolution crosswell seismic surveys were conducted over a Silurian (Niagaran) reef at two fields in northern Michigan, Springdale and Coldspring. The Springdale wells extended to much greater depths than the reef, and imaging was conducted from above and from beneath the reef. Combining the results from images obtained from above with those from beneath provides additional information, by exhibiting ranges of angles that are different for the two images, especially for reflectors at shallow depths, and second, by providing additional constraints on the solutions for Zoeppritz equations. Inversion of seismic data for impedance has become a standard part of the workflow for quantitative reservoir characterization. Inversion of crosswell data using either deterministic or geostatistical methods can lead to poor results with phase change beyond the critical angle, however, the simultaneous pre-stack inversion of partial angle stacks may be best conducted with restrictions to angles less than critical. Deterministic inversion is designed to yield only a single model of elastic properties (best-fit), while the geostatistical inversion produces multiple models (realizations) of elastic properties, lithology and reservoir properties. Geostatistical inversion produces results with far more detail than deterministic inversion. The magnitude of difference in details between both types of inversion becomes increasingly pronounced for thinner reservoirs, particularly those beyond the vertical resolution of the seismic. For any interface imaged from above and from beneath, the results AVA characters must result from identical contrasts in elastic properties in the two sets of images, albeit in reverse order. An inversion approach to handle both datasets simultaneously, at pre-critical angles, is demonstrated in this work. The main exploration problem for carbonate reefs is determining the porosity distribution. Images of elastic properties, obtained from deterministic and geostatistical simultaneous inversion of a high-resolution crosswell seismic survey were used to obtain the internal structure and reservoir properties (porosity) of Niagaran Michigan reef. The images obtained are the best of any Niagaran pinnacle reef to date.

By providing vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure wireless communications, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), also known as the “networks on wheels”, can greatly enhance traffic safety, traffic efficiency and driving experience for intelligent transportation system (ITS). However, the unique features of VANETs, such as high mobility and uneven distribution of vehicular nodes, impose critical challenges of high efficiency and reliability for the implementation of VANETs. This dissertation is motivated by the great application potentials of VANETs in the design of efficient in-network data processing and dissemination. Considering the significance of message aggregation, data dissemination and data collection, this dissertation research targets at enhancing the traffic safety and traffic efficiency, as well as developing novel commercial applications, based on VANETs, following four aspects: 1) accurate and efficient message aggregation to detect on-road safety relevant events, 2) reliable data dissemination to reliably notify remote vehicles, 3) efficient and reliable spatial data collection from vehicular sensors, and 4) novel promising applications to exploit the commercial potentials of VANETs. Specifically, to enable cooperative detection of safety relevant events on the roads, the structure-less message aggregation (SLMA) scheme is proposed to improve communication efficiency and message accuracy. The scheme of relative position based message dissemination (RPB-MD) is proposed to reliably and efficiently disseminate messages to all intended vehicles in the zone-of-relevance in varying traffic density. Due to numerous vehicular sensor data available based on VANETs, the scheme of compressive sampling based data collection (CS-DC) is proposed to efficiently collect the spatial relevance data in a large scale, especially in the dense traffic. In addition, with novel and efficient solutions proposed for the application specific issues of data dissemination and data collection, several appealing value-added applications for VANETs are developed to exploit the commercial potentials of VANETs, namely general purpose automatic survey (GPAS), VANET-based ambient ad dissemination (VAAD) and VANET based vehicle performance monitoring and analysis (VehicleView). Thus, by improving the efficiency and reliability in in-network data processing and dissemination, including message aggregation, data dissemination and data collection, together with the development of novel promising applications, this dissertation will help push VANETs further to the stage of massive deployment.

O método de empilhamento Superfície de Reflexão Comum (SRC) foi originalmente introduzido como um método data-driven para simular seções afastamento-nulo a partir de dados sísmicos de reflexão pré-empilhados 2-D adquiridos ao longo de uma linha de aquisição reta. Este método está baseado em uma aproximação de tempos de trânsito hiperbólica de segunda ordem parametrizada com três atributos cinemáticos do campo de onda. Em dados terrestres, os efeitos topográficos desempenham um papel importante no processamento e imageamento de dados sísmicos. Assim, esta característica tem sido considerada recentemente pelo método SRC. Neste trabalho apresentamos uma revisão das aproximações de tempos de trânsito SRC que consideram topografia suave e rugosa. Adicionalmente, nós revemos também a aproximação de tempos de trânsito Multifoco para o caso da topografia rugosa. Por meio de um exemplo sintético simples, nós fornecemos finalmente as primeiras comparações entre as diferentes expressões de tempos de trânsito.

O método de migração do tipo Kirchhoff se apresenta na literatura como uma das ferramentas mais importantes de todo o processamento sísmico, servindo de base para a resolução de outros problemas de imageamento, devido ao um menor custo computacional em relação aos métodos que tem por base a solução numérica da equação da onda. No caso da aplicação em três dimensões (3D), mesmo a migração do tipo Kirchhoff torna-se dispendiosa, no que se refere aos requisitos computacionais e até mesmo numéricos para sua efetiva aplicação. Desta maneira, no presente trabalho, objetivando produzir resultados com uma razão sinal/ruído maior e um menor esforço computacional, foi utilizado uma simplificação do meio denominado 2.5D, baseado nos fundamentos teóricos da propagação de feixes gaussianos. Assim, tendo como base o operador integral com feixes gaussianos desenvolvido por Ferreira e Cruz (2009), foi derivado um novo operador integral de superposição de campos paraxiais (feixes gaussianos), o mesmo foi inserido no núcleo do operador integral de migração Kirchhoff convencional em verdadeira amplitude, para a situação 2,5D, definindo desta maneira um novo operador de migração do tipo Kirchhoff para a classe pré-empilhamento em verdadeira amplitude 2.5D (KGB,do inglês Kirchhoff-Gausian-Beam). Posteriormente, tal operador foi particularizado para as configurações de medida afastamento comum (CO, do inglês common offset) e ângulo de reflexão comum (CA, do inglês common angle), ressaltando ainda, que na presente Tese foi também idealizada uma espécie de flexibilização do operador integral de superposição de feixes gaussianos, no que concerne a sua aplicação em mais de um domínio, quais sejam, afastamento comum e fonte comum. Nesta Tese são feitas aplicações de dados sintéticos originados a partir de um modelo anticlinal.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivos a análise e atenuação de múltiplas de superfície livre, o processamento e o imageamento de dados sísmicos marinhos visando obter imagens migradas de utilidade à interpretação geológica voltada à exploração de petróleo. Foi dada uma atenção sistemática ao estudo de múltiplas de superfície livre do ponto de vista do filtro de predição baseado na teoria da comunicação com o objetivo de melhor aplicar o filtro WH de deconvolução preditiva, na etapa de processamento, posterior à correção NMO, embora outros métodos possam ser considerados mais competitivos. A identificação e a atenuação de reflexões múltiplas em dados sísmicos reais continua como um grande desafio no processamento de dados sísmicos, uma vez que elas são consideradas como ruído. No entanto, sendo este ruído classificado como coerente, várias técnicas foram desenvolvidas objetivando sua atenuação para evitar erros em cascata nas etapas posteriores como processamento, marcação de eventos, inversão tomográfica, imageamento, e finalmente na interpretação geológica das imagens obtidas. Outro aspecto do trabalho foi estabelecer um fluxograma de processamento-imageamento sendo a atenuação de múltiplas de superfície livre uma etapa central. Foram obtidas seções migradas em tempo e em profundidade onde se permite a interpretação que se deseja. O desenvolvimento deste trabalho foi realizado com os pacotes CWP/SU e MatLab.

Através do processamento de dados sísmicos convertem-se registos de campo em secções sísmicas com significado geológico, que revelam informações e ajudam a delinear as camadas geológicas do subsolo e identificar estruturas soterradas. Portanto, a interpretação dos dados sísmicos só é boa se o processamento também o for. Este trabalho é resultado de um estágio curricular na empresa de prospecção geofísica GeoSurveys, que consistiu principalmente em processar 18 linhas de dados de sísmica de reflexão multicanal de alta resolução adquiridas na ilha de Pulau Tekong em Singapura, que têm como finalidade investigação do solo da baia desta mesma ilha. Estes dados foram cedidos à GeoSurveys para fins académicos, caso em que se inclui esta dissertação. Para atingir os objectivos propostos que consistiam em avaliar o impacto das condições de operação na qualidade do sinal sísmico e interpretação das linhas, fez-se o processamento das linhas utilizando um fluxo processamento padrão utilizado na empresa, com recurso ao software Radex Pro. Este fluxo de processamento tem como mais-valia o método de correcções estáticas, o UHRS trim statics, além das técnicas habituais utilizadas para melhorar a resolução das secções sísmicas como é o caso da desconvolução, a atenuação de ruído através do stacking, correcções de NMO, e migração, entre outras técnicas. A interpretação das linhas sísmicas processadas foi feita no software Kingdom Suite (IHS), através da distinção da configuração interna dos reflectores em cada secção sísmica, estabelecendo deste modo as principais unidades sismo-estratigráficas e identificando as zonas de interface que delimitam os horizontes principais. Foi feito ainda um estudo geológico sumário da área de pesquisa e da evolução geodinâmica da região.
