Dictionary optimization and constraint neighbor embedding-based dictionary mapping for superdimension reconstruction...

The three-dimensional (3D) structure of a digital core can be reconstructed from a single two-dimensional (2D) image via mathematical modeling. In classical mathematical modeling algorithms, such as multipoint geostatistics algorithms, the optimization of pattern sets (dictionaries) and the mapping problems are important issues. However, they have rarely been discussed thus far. Pattern set (dictionary)-related problems include the pattern set (dictionary) size problem and the one-to-many mapping problem in a pattern set (dictionary). The former directly affects the completeness of the dictionary, while the latter is manifested such that a single to-be-matched 2D patch has multiple matching patterns in the library and it is hence necessary to select these modes to establish an optimal mapping relationship. Whether the two above-mentioned problems can be properly resolved is directly related to the accuracy of the reconstruction results. Super-dimension reconstruction is a new 3D reconstruction method proposed by introducing the concepts of training dictionary, prior model, and mapping into the reconstruction of the digital core from the field of super-resolution reconstruction. In addition, mapping relationship extraction and dictionary building are also key issues in super-dimension reconstruction. Therefore, this paper discusses these common dictionary-related problems from the perspective of super-dimension dictionaries. We propose dictionary optimization using augmentation dictionaries and clustering based on the boundary features of the dictionary elements to improve the completeness and expand the expression ability of the dictionary. Furthermore, we propose constraint neighbor embedding-based dictionary mapping to establish a more reasonable dictionary mapping relationship for super-dimension reconstruction, and we solve the one-to-many mapping problem in the dictionary. Our experimental results show that the performance of the super-dimension dictionary can be improved by the above-mentioned algorithm. Thus, through the optimized dictionary structure and mapping relationship determined by the above-mentioned methods, the 2D patch to be reconstructed can match a more accurate 3D block in the dictionary. Consequently, the reconstruction precision is improved.
