METHOD AND APPARATUS USING MULTI-TARGET TRACKING TO ANALYZE BOREHOLE IMAGES AND PRODUCE SETS OF TRACKS AND DIP DATA

摘要

A Tracking Dip Estimator software including a novel Multi-Sine Tracking Software is adapted to be stored in a computer system memory for instructing a processor to produce a "first output" including a pluralit y of tracks or a plurality of connected sets of track points lying along sinusoidal dip events in the input borehole image data, and a "second output" including a plurality of "dip data" d by using the "first output" plurality of tracks as input to a Best Fit software that determines a set of pure sine curves that best fit the respective plurality of connected sets of track points.
