  • Method and program for fracture plane reconstruction
    Patent number: 7596056
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for fracture plane reconstruction in a three-dimensional set (20) of values, comprising the steps of providing a computer with the three-dimensional set, display by the computer of a succession of plane sections (10) of the three-dimensional set, selection by the user of points of the fracture plane over some of these sections during their display; and reconstruction by the computer of the fracture plane from the selected points.

  • Method and program for finding discountinuities
    Publication number: 20060269139
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for finding discontinuities in an image. This method makes it possible to detect discontinuities, i.e. faults, by being based on the heterogeneity of the distribution of the gradients of the points of the image being studied. The heterogeneity of the distribution of the gradients is characteristic of the discontinuities in a stratified medium. The method is based on the characteristics of the discontinuities within the set of geological markers in order to obtain a better determination of these discontinuities.
