- Abstract
In this research computer vision techniques are applied to borehole resistivity imaging in order to establish an alternative procedure to the mean square dip (MSD) processing. The MSD is regularly applied to detect sinusoids and dips automatically in borehole imaging and dipmeter logs. The present proposal is based on Gabor’s filters, morphological transformations, Hough’s transform, and clustering techniques. The MSD and the computer vision proposal were tested in 1012 m of borehole images, showing 7.986% of false positives for the MSD processing and 0.879% for the computer vision approach. The present methodology tries to emulate the geologists behavior when they make image interpretation; instead correlations between resistivity curves like in the MSD processing. There are no special computer requirements, and it can be applied directly in the field for a quick well-site dip results. This procedure can be easily integrated into log units and most commercial borehole imaging software. The processing workflow was developed in python using standard libraries.
