S-wave anisotropy from two dipole sonic data processing methods, confronted with fracture permeability, logs and cores by Perrin José, Belaud Didier, Yver Jean-Pierre, Naville Charles

“…In the first part the early dipole sonic S-wave velocity results obtained in late 1993 are confronted with the other borehole data obtained in the scientific borehole MM-1, entirely cored and extensively logged, as part of the comprehensive scientific project named Géologie Profonde de la France (GPF), conducted by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM, i.e. the French Geological Survey), in Ardèche, southern France. In 1994, José Perrin summarized and integrated all the borehole information including the preliminary results from an azimuthal “rotation scan” of S-wave sonic slowness determination method quickly developed in Schlumberger-France and aiming at detecting only the presence of S-wave velocity anisotropy in a first step. …”

Analyzing Changes in Maize Leaves Orientation due to GxExM Using an Automatic Method from RGB Images by Mario Serouart, Raul Lopez-Lozano, Gaëtan Daubige, Maëva Baumont, Brigitte Escale, Benoit De Solan, Frédéric Baret

“…The goal of the present study is 2-fold: firstly, to propose and validate an automatic algorithm (Automatic Leaf Azimuth Estimation from Midrib detection [ALAEM]) based on leaves midrib detection in vertical red green blue (RGB) images to describe leaves orientation at the canopy level; and secondly, to describe genotypic and environmental differences in leaves orientation in a panel of 5 maize hybrids sowing at 2 densities (6 and 12 plants.m−2) and 2 row spacing (0.4 and 0.8 m) over 2 different sites in southern France. The ALAEM algorithm was validated against in situ annotations of leaves orientation, showing a satisfactory agreement (root mean square [RMSE] error = 0.1, R2 = 0.35) in the proportion of leaves oriented perpendicular to rows direction across sowing patterns, genotypes, and sites. …”
