Abstract
Systems and methods for computing a variogram model, which utilize a variogram map and a rose diagram to compute the model.
Claims27
A method for computing a variogram model, which comprises:
- selecting input parameters using a computer processor;
- displaying a variogram map, the variogram map comprising a maximum direction of spatial continuity;
- displaying a rose diagram, the rose diagram comprising an edge and a plurality of vectors;
- rotating only the edge of the rose diagram to align the maximum direction of spatial continuity with an axis of the rose diagram;
- and
- adjusting only the edge of the rose diagram until the edge of the rose diagram meets each end of each longest and shortest rose diagram vector.
3 more elements
A non-transitory program carrier device tangibly carrying computer executable instructions for computing a variogram model, the instructions being executable to implement:
- selecting input parameters;
- displaying a variogram map, the variogram map comprising a maximum direction of spatial continuity;
- displaying a rose diagram, the rose diagram comprising an edge and a plurality of vectors;
- rotating only the edge of the rose diagram to align the maximum direction of spatial continuity with an axis of the rose diagram;
- and
- adjusting only the edge of the rose diagram until the edge of the rose diagram meets each end of each longest and shortest rose diagram vector.
3 more elements
A non-transitory program carrier device tangibly carrying a data structure stored thereon, the data structure comprising a data field, the data field comprising:
- a variogram map having a center and a maximum direction of spatial continuity;
- and
- a rose diagram having the center, an axis and a plurality of vectors, the axis of the rose diagram being aligned with the maximum direction of spatial continuity and each end of each longest and shortest rose diagram vector meeting an edge of the rose diagram.
