ABSTRACT:
Analog signals corresponding to color images or pixels of a thin section of a rock reservoir are digitized and then filtered to isolate the pixels representative of pores in the thin section. The pores so isolated are then counted, measured for their total pore perimeter and labelled.
Each area of pixels representative of pores of value one is progressively eroded and dilated, pursuant to which one layer of pixels of ones on the perimeter of the area is converted to zeros and, if a seed pixel remains, one layer of pixels of ones is added to the perimeter of the area. Thereafter, the original object undergoes two successive erosions followed by two dilations if a seed pixel remains. Successive iterations of the erosion and dilation cycle continue until the last erosion eliminates the seed pixel of the area. The numbewr of pixels of ones lost with each degree of erosion constitutes a pore spectrum consisting of information relating to the total amount of pore image lost each erosion-dilation cycle, the pore size lost each erosion-dilation cycle and the pore roughness lost each cycle.
The spectra devleoped from the erosion-dilation cycle and corresponding to each pore complex are then analyzed into end members and the end member proportions for each field of view are calculated.
