Latest Patents
Layton's latest patents include the "Method and apparatus for interactive curved surface borehole interpretation and visualization." This invention allows for an enlarged computer graphic image of borehole data to be displayed on a concave three-dimensional surface, preferably in a semi-cylindrical shape. This method provides an enlarged image of a borehole surface where the data is spatially correct in three dimensions, facilitating the identification of geological features such as surfaces, faults, and fractures.
Another significant patent is the "Method and apparatus for interactive curved surface seismic interpretation and visualization." This invention displays an enlarged computer graphic image of seismic data on a concave three-dimensional surface that corresponds to the shape of selected data extracted from a three-dimensional seismic volume. This approach enhances the visualization of seismic surfaces, making it easier for interpreters to locate geological features such as horizons, faults, and channels. An auxiliary paddle screen is also provided to display an interactive video image for exploring the volume within the hybrid screen.
