SLIM members have submitted 4 expanded abstracts to the European association of geoscientists and engineers (EAGE) 72nd Conference & Exhibition, to be held in Barcelona, Spain, this year. Read the abstracts here.
This year proved to be quite a productive one, with a dense schedule during the 2 days of the consortium meeting, during which many fruitful discussions were generated. Here is a list of the given talks in roughly chronological order.
SLIM had a successful annual SEG Meeting this year, with 8 talks, including one in a special session, and 2 posters. The abstracts can be viewed here, and the slides here.
Felix Herrmann was among the first speakers of the meeting, with his talk on the "Sub-Nyquist sampling and sparsity: How to get more information from fewer samples", delivered on the Special Session: Recent Advances and Road Ahead, the first special session of the meeting.
The SINBAD sponsor meeting (SINBAD 2009) this year is planned for November 23-24, 2009, in UBC, Vancouver.
Felix Herrmann (SLIM) will open the meeting with a keynote talk on recent accomplishments and the road ahead. During the meeting, members of SLIM will give presentations reporting on our research progress.
The program of the SINBAD meeting will include:
Compressive sensing and sparsity promoting one-norm solvers
Seismic data processing: seismic data regularization and acquisition design
What I do remember is that I wanted to become a pilot in the French air force. It was a series of small events and coincidences that brought me into the oil and gas industry. My former supervisor from Brazil contacted me because he knew that Dr. Felix J. Herrmann was looking for graduate students. My first phone call with him was quite an experience. I had never before heard someone talking about research with so much enthusiasm - that's how it started.
SLIM members have submitted 9 expanded abstracts to the 79th Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) Meeting, to be held in Houston, Texas, this year. Read the abstract here.
The biennial conference on sampling theory and applications (SAMPTA) will take place in Marseille, France, this year. Members of SLIM have submitted one expanded abstract on compressive wavefield simulation. Read the abstract here.
Three expanded abstracts by members of SLIM have been submitted to the 2009 European Association of Geoscientists & Engineers (EAGE) Meeting in Amsterdam. Read the expanded abstracts here.
Gilles Hennenfent has just won the prestigious Arie Van Weelden Award - Young professional award. The Arie van Weelden Award is presented to a member of the European
Association of Geoscientists & Engineers (EAGE), who has made a highly significant contribution to one or more of the disciplines in our Association and who is under the age of 30 at the end of the calendar year in which the contribution is made.
Sparco is a suite of problems for testing and benchmarking algorithms for sparse signal reconstruction. It is also an environment for creating new test problems, and a suite of standard linear operators is provided from which new problems can be assembled. Sparco is implemented entirely in Matlab and is self contained. (A few optional test problems are based on the CurveLab toolbox, which can be installed separately.)
At the core of the sparse recovery problem is the linear system
Ax + r = b,
where A is an m-by-n linear operator and the m-vector b is the observed signal. The goal is to find a sparse n-vector x such that r is small in norm.
