A method for forming a borehole image of an azimuthally sensitive borehole or formation parameter is disclosed. Such a borehole image may be formed, for example, by processing logging sensor data with a predetermined sensor response function (also referred to herein as a probability density function) to acquire probabilistically distributed sensor data. The sensor data may be distributed in either one-dimension (azimuthal) or two-dimensions (azimuthal and axial). Certain embodiments of this invention may be advantageously utilized in LWD imaging applications and provide for superior image resolution and noise rejection as compared to prior art binning techniques. Exemplary embodiments of the invention also advantageously conserve logging sensor data such that integration of the distributed data over the entire circumference of the tool provides a non-azimuthally sensitive logging measurement.
