Hi Hatef - I have a 3D code, based on the FFT-based methods, that can generate unconditional realizations with 1million + grid-cells. We can discuss this if you're interested in using it. Of course, if Arvind has code for doing unconditional realizations using his techniques, I'd be curious about those as well!
For the data, I believe in the early inversions I was trying I was using about half the data. Based on discussions with Baptiste, some of the datasets are more noisy than others, so I just picked some of the slices that he had indicated were more reliable. Another strategy, of course, would be to just randomly select a subset of the data. 200,000 measurements is a bit much for doing geostatistical approaches, since the inverted matrices (HQHt+R HX; HX 0) are non-sparse and even a (# measurements x # measurements) matrix will be quite cumbersome to store. Around 100,000 could be manageable on a machine with a lot of RAM. The size of this dataset is actually what got me thinking about sequential data inclusion methods... perhaps using the techniques you are planning, you could successively incorporate more and more measurements? Feel free to let me know what you're thinking and we can brainstorm further... -Mike On Sat, Feb 19, 2011 at 6:12 PM, Hatef Monajemi <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello , > > I wonder if Arvind has already developed the code for generating > unconditional realizations in 3D at least for structured grid. 3D > calculation seems to be more in need of methods that save storage. > > Also, Mike, can you give us an estimate of the size of problem you are > considering for 3D inversion of GPR data in BHRS.
