GIS

In order to locate oil pockets, GIS engineers apply predictive methods to
a stratification model of the soil.

This model is derived from a 3D grid of drill-samples,
where each element is mapped to its corresponding porosity level.

By combining such advanced visualization techniques as

Volume Rendering (3D textures),
IsoSurface Reconstruction (3D geometry),
Capping (boolean volume intersection)

this model can be sliced in a number of ways to determine
the most probable oil-flow paths.

This demonstration prototype was developed with the collaboration of
the I.F.P. (French Institute of Petrol), in France.



In France, there is no petrol, so instead of looking for oil pockets, GIS engineers
apply predictive methods to a stratification model of their brains, in order to find ideas.

This model is derived from a stack of medical images which
the engineers get from the medical services of their company.
