The MPS Reconstruction of Porous Media Using Multiple-Grid Templates

Article Preview

Abstract:

It is difficult to reconstruct the unknown information only by some sparse known data in the reconstruction of porous media. Multiple-point geostatistics (MPS) has been proved to be a powerful tool to capture curvilinear structures or complex features in training images. One solution to capture large-scale structures while considering a data template with a reasonably small number of grid nodes is provided by the multiple-grid method. This method consists in scanning a training image using increasingly finer multiple-grid data templates instead of a big and dense data template. The experimental results demonstrate that multiple-grid data templates and MPS are practical in porous media reconstruction.
