Patent number: 7236887Abstract: The present invention relates to a user-guided dip picking method from electrical borehole images using Hough Transform. It includes defining a top and bottom reference curve, applying the Hough Transform to the borehole image limited by the top and bottom reference dips so that the Hough Transform space is restrained in the neighborhood of the reference dips. A 1D average trace representing the extrema of the 3D Hough parameter space for each depth is then computed and the extrema exceeding a given threshold are search in this 1D trace. The position in the 3D Hough space of an extremum represents a dip event.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2005Date of Patent: June 26, 2007Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Yinyu Wang, Arnaud Etchecopar, Hitoshi Onda, Gilles Mathieu
