Abstract
The disclosure relates to methods and systems for analyzing an image of the formation intersected by a borehole. One of the methods determines a local apparent dip of the borehole at least at a measured depth i represented on the image, applies at least a window to the image, wherein each of the windows includes one of the measured depth i and is shaped as a function of the determined local dip at the corresponding measured depth i, compares a texture of at least a first zone of each window and a texture of at least a second zone of said window, wherein each of the first and second zones are adjacent and shaped as a function of the determined dip. Based on the comparison, the method determines at least a location of a texture boundary and derives a property of the formation. The other method includes determine locations of the texture boundaries, segmenting the image as a function of the texture boundaries, and perform clustering of the segments in order to determine a facies of the formation.
