Calculation of Bedding Angles Inclination from Drill Core Digital Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we describe a new technique for the automatic orientation of bedding in drill core from digital images. Images are planar pictures of the drill core, and we show that it is possible to determine layer orientation without rotating the core on the full circumference. More precisely, we show that angle information can be extracted by applying image processing and a mathematical description of bedding trace on the core. The angles’ estimation is done by adapting the Hough transform technique. This work is part of a more important project of our laboratory that aims to develop a drill core image analysis software.

Deformation Features of the Cretaceous Units of the Icdp-chicxulub Drill
Introduction: The Yaxcopoil-1 (Yax-1) borehole, 60 km SSW of the center of the Chicxulub crater, penetrated through 600 m of sediments below the impactites (from about 894.9 m to the lowermost drilling depth of 1510.9 m). These rocks which are most likely of Cretaceous age are deformed to various degree and consist of distinct lithologies, predominantly carbonates and sulfates (dolomite, limest...
متن کاملOptimum Drill Bit Selection by Using Bit Images and Mathematical Investigation
This study is designed to consider the two important yet often neglected factors, which are factory recommendation and bit features, in optimum bit selection. Image processing techniques have been used to consider the bit features. A mathematical equation, which is derived from a neural network model, is used for drill bit selection to obtain the bit’s maximum penetration rate that corresponds ...
متن کاملDigital Core Laboratory: Properties of reservoir core derived from 3D images
A facility for digital imaging, visualizing and calculation of reservoir rock properties in three dimensions (3D) is described. The facility includes a high resolution X-ray micro-computed tomography system capable of acquiring 3D images made up of 2000 voxels on core plugs up to 5 cm diameter with resolutions down to 2 μm. Subsets of four sandstone reservoir core plugs (5 mm in diameter) from ...
متن کاملFEM investigation of drilling conditions on heat generation during teeth implantation
Abstract The first step of implanting teeth is to drill a hole in the jaw bone. Excessive temperature produced during drilling is one of the destructive factors for bony tissue. If the temperature generation during surgical drilling exceeds the critical temperature, it could lead to osteonecrosis. This research intends to study drilling parameters such as drilling speed, feed rate, cooling con...
متن کاملCenter of Mass and Ankle Inclination Angles during Walking: an Alternative Detection of Gait Instability
Instantaneous inclination angles between the whole body center of mass (COM) and center of pressure (COP) during gait were reported to detect gait instability in the elderly [1]. Accurate calculation of the COP requires a single foot placement on each force plate. However, many studies indicated that older adults, especially fallers, walk with a significantly smaller step than young adults [2,3...
