Abstract: Systems and methods for estimating tool string depth can include a framework that utilizes machine learning to determine depth and depth uncertainties for the tool string. The framework can take as inputs a casing collar locator signal, a depth, a cable speed, and a timestamp. Then a collar detector function, which can be a machine learning model, can detect a collar and output a certainty level associated with the detection. A collar identifier function can combine that certainty level with a prior collar map and other prior parameters to identify a particular collar and that collar's depth. Then a fusion function can output a depth and depth uncertainty for the collar or for the tool string.
