    Abstract: Borehole images can be corrected using machine-learning models. For example, a system can train a machine-learning model based on a training dataset. The training dataset can include a first set of borehole images correlated to a second set of borehole images, where the second set of borehole images are less precise versions of the first set of borehole images. The system can then execute the trained machine-learning model in relation to an input borehole image to receive a corrected borehole image as output from the trained machine-learning model. The corrected borehole image can be a visually corrected version of the input borehole image. The system may then perform one or more operations based on the corrected borehole image, such as generating a graphical user interface that includes the corrected borehole image for display on a display device.

    Abstract: Numerical and/or semi-analytical methods are leveraged to decouple a complete set of nonzero electromagnetic field tensor components (118) from detected signal data (119). Nine nonzero components can serve as inputs for a three-dimensional inversion process to determine formation properties. A resistivity tool (100) containing at least one transmitter (111) and at least one receiver (108, 109) at tilted angles receives an electromagnetic signal throughout a rotation. A difference in the azimuthal positions of the transmitter(s) and receiver(s) during rotation of the resistivity tool can result in an azimuthal offset between resistivity tool subs. The components (118) are decoupled from the detected signal data (119) numerically or semi-analytically according to whether the azimuthal offset angle is known. If the azimuthal offset angle is known, the nine components are determined numerically through curve fitting. If the azimuthal offset angle is unknown, a semi-analytical process is used to solve for the nine components.
