This is the second part of a blog series on mapping circular fields. In part one I talked about the challenges for mapping in Desert environments and about how thresholding and the Watershed Algorithm can be used to detect coins – this offers a potentially useful way to map circular fields. These are a challenge… Read More »Interactive Image Segmentation part 2
A few weeks ago I saw this tweet from UrtheCast We wish you a happy #EarthDay with this stunning #DEIMOS1 view of crop circles in the desert in #SaudiArabia! #PrecisionAg #Geoanalytics pic.twitter.com/szcSptjHMS — UrtheCast (@UrtheCast) April 22, 2017 It is a stunning image, captured by Deimos 1, of crop circles in Saudi Arabia.

A Geographical Information System is ideally suited to manage many of the risks associated with exploration and oilfield activities. Risks such as, but not limited to – Accidents, dangerous roads, steep inclines and slopes – In project execution, doing something you were not supposed to do and not knowing you did it – Having to… Read More »GIS to manage exploration risk
A 3D land seismic crew has the potential to be a big operation. How big? “A land seismic survey conducted in 2005 had 400,000 sensors per square kilometer; by 2009, that number had reached 36 million. From 2005 to 2009, the average volume of data gathered on an eight-hour shift grew from 100 gigabytes to… Read More »Using GIS to scout a land seismic survey
