IDENTIFYING GEOLOGICAL FEATURES IN AN IMAGE OF AN UNDERGROUND FORMATION SURROUNDING A BOREHOLE

摘要

A method for identifying geological features in an image of an underground formation surrounding a borehole. The method comprising: analysing the image properties to identify image regions and defining segments based on the identified image regions. Then identifying segments corresponding to a group relating to a geological feature and analysing the segments of the group to classify the feature as one of a pre-determined type.
