摘要:
Techniques for an image-based analysis of a geological thin section include (i) acquiring a plurality of images from a geological thin section of a rock sample from a subterranean zone; (ii) manipulating the plurality of images to derive a composite image; (iii) optimizing the composite image to derive a seed image; (iv) identifying, in the seed image, a particular seed pixel of a plurality of contiguous pixels that comprise an image of a grain of a plurality of grains of the rock sample in the seed image; (v) determining, with a specified algorithm, a shape of the grain based on the seed pixel; (vi) determining, based on the shape of the grain, a size of the grain; and (vii) preparing the determination of the size of the grain for presentation to a user.
摘要:
Computer-implemented methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer program stored therein are provided to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of modeling a core sample from two-dimensional images of the core sample. Embodiments of the invention include, for example, image registering a plurality of images of transverse sections of a core sample to produce aligned transverse sections and performing a saw cut correction on the aligned images to adjust the images for a slab cut. Embodiments of the saw cut correction can include, for example, identifying the saw cut line, approximating the slab cut boundary, and moving a portion of the representation of the image to the periphery of the approximated slab cut boundary. Embodiments can further include, generating three-dimensional models of the core sample and the internal composition of a borehole related to the core sample using the adjusted saw cut line images and multipoint statistics calculations.
