4. New insights into coherence
What gives rise to the stair-step artifacts?
What is the effect of bandpass filtering the input data?
How can we combine multiple coherence images into one?
Since Nov. 18, 2016, I’ve expanded this short overview at our meeting into a separate presentation containing more details

8. Commercialization with Geophysical Insights (and potentially others)
Most university software requires an internal software group (i.e. research group) to make it work – e.g. SEP, Madagascar, KAUST, MSORP,…
Some consortia who have commercialized their research products:
GoCad (Université de Nancy)
Beicip (Institut français du petrôle)
Paradigm (Geoff Dorn work before Terraspark)

9. Commercialization
Geophysical Insights will provide a subset of the AASPI software as an “attribute calculator” (similar to Kingdom Suite’s arrangement with Rock Solid Images)
Front end and GUIs will be Paradise
Maintenance and help desk will be from Geophysical Insights
Computational algorithms will be AASPI algorithms
University Restrictions
Commercial contract is an “add-on” to the AASPI contract
Commercialization contract must be the same for all interested parties
All commercialization contracts must be the same
If successful, their membership fee would be double

10. AASPI Welcome 2012
Commercialization (AASPI consortia membership vs. the Paradise AASPI calculator)
AASPI members obtain:
Unlimited number of licenses for $28000/year (vs a limited number of AASPI attribute calculators in Paradise package)
Many developments may not have commercial value for Geophysical Insights
New developments (e.g. aberrancy and skeletonization) are exclusive to sponsors for one year
Access to source code
Code runs on Windows PCs, Linux clusters, and supercomputers (the later using PBS, SLURM, and LSF)
Access to us!
