The aim of this project was to create a detailed 3D model of Permian clay laminations. Modern image processing methods and wavelet analysis were used for 3D visualization, identification of the nature of laminations and calculation of mean and interval sedimentation rates. The images used in this project are the photographs of a clay sample taken from an outcrop of ?linguloid? clays. First, two faces of the sample were sanded and polished to the shine. Then the polished surfaces were scanned and photographed. Imag...

The goal of this project was to create a detailed model of the Aral Sea sedimentary cycles. Modern methods of image processing and wavelet analysis were used to reveal the nature of lamination and determine the average and interval sedimentation rates. The results obtained were then compared with those from the radiocarbon dating. The images used in this project are photographs of core (sediment) samples taken with hollow plastic tubes. The samples were removed from the tubes by cutting them in half lengthwise, an...
