Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of geological outcrop stratigraphic interpretation technology, and to an automatic interpretation method and apparatus for the stratigraphic position of geological outcrop images. Background Technology

[0002] Surface geological outcrops are the most direct means of studying the stratigraphic attribution of basin-covered areas and analyzing basin structure and evolution. Through the interpretation of geological outcrops, remote sensing image identification, delineation, and research on the morphology, boundaries, occurrence, distribution patterns, assemblage relationships, and genetic connections of geological structures can be achieved. This will be beneficial in promoting oil and gas exploration in deep, complex structures and lithologies within the basin. Stratigraphic interpretation of geological outcrops can be applied in three aspects: 1. Stratigraphic research: Through the interpretation of geological outcrops, the boundaries of bedding planes, lithology, fossils, mineral composition, chemical composition, physical properties, and sedimentary discontinuities between strata can be accurately extracted and delineated. Furthermore, by tracing the origins of strata within the outcrop area... 1. Source-tracing and comparative studies effectively solve difficult problems such as stratigraphic attribution of high-yield oil layers, reservoir modeling of stratigraphic structure, and restoration of prototype basins; 2. Tectonic studies clarify the folds, faults, cleavages, and other planar and linear structures of rocks in key areas, providing support for in-depth understanding of the deep geological structure of basins, basin-mountain coupling, and the relationship between tectonic-sedimentary evolution and hydrocarbon generation and accumulation; 3. Geological capping: constructing high-precision surface geological models through three-dimensional surface modeling and geological interpretation, and calibrating surface geological outcrops based on surface geological structural characteristics, combined with lithological profiles that integrate field measured outcrop profiles and seismic profiles.

[0003] Currently, there is relatively more research on fracture extraction from geological outcrop images, but less research on the automatic extraction of stratigraphic horizons from geological outcrops. Most studies utilize 3D geological outcrop stratigraphic interpretation methods, and the challenges of 3D geological outcrop stratigraphic interpretation are as follows:

[0004] 1. Three-dimensional geological outcrop stratigraphic interpretation is a completely new technical field, and there is no mature experience to draw upon both domestically and internationally. Unlike traditional DOM / DEM interpretation which uses orthophoto projection planes, the three-dimensional geological outcrop model uses 3Dtiler data volumes, which have high data accuracy and can realistically reflect the elevation and concave surfaces of the geological outcrop, making the distribution of strata clearer. Geological interpretation needs to be carried out in a three-dimensional environment.

[0005] 2. Manual interpretation of 3D geological outcrops suffers from problems such as high workload, poor operability, insufficient accuracy, and incompatibility between interpreted data and 3D models. Manual interpretation requires manual identification of stratigraphic boundaries and manual drawing of stratigraphic boundary segments. Due to the high precision of 3D geological outcrop models, with data accuracy down to the centimeter level and a data area of ​​nearly 100 square kilometers, drawing these segments in 3D space exceeds the limits of manual work. Furthermore, according to Long et al.'s research on the variability of stratigraphic interpretation, interpreting a single image by geologists of varying skill levels revealed significant differences in the topological structure, orientation, and length distribution of stratigraphic horizons.

[0006] 3. The conventional Beamlet algorithm has insufficient support for automatic extraction of stratigraphic horizons. The Beamlet algorithm is a high-dimensional anisotropy analysis method. Currently, when this algorithm is used for stratigraphic horizon interpretation, it suffers from problems such as discontinuous gray values ​​in edge images, isolated feature lines that cannot well reflect direction information, poor noise resistance, large computational load, and increased difficulty in operator learning, which are insufficient to support large-scale engineering applications. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This invention provides an automatic interpretation method and apparatus for stratigraphic positions of geological outcrop images, which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and can effectively solve the problems of low efficiency and large workload in the existing manual interpretation methods of stratigraphic positions of geological outcrop images.

[0020] The stratigraphic horizon segments are classified by cluster analysis based on the minimum connectivity cost function value.

[0048] The present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and specific implementation methods can be determined according to the technical solutions and actual conditions of the present invention.

[0049] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings:

[0050] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this invention discloses an automatic interpretation method for stratigraphic horizons in geological outcrop images, including:

[0051] Step S101: Obtain the original image of the selected region and perform preprocessing;

[0052] In this embodiment, a selected area is defined, and tile images are obtained from the corresponding three-dimensional geological outcrop images as the original images for interpretation. The original images are then preprocessed. The main purpose of image preprocessing is to eliminate irrelevant information in the images, restore useful real information, enhance the detectability of relevant information, and simplify the data to the maximum extent, thereby improving the reliability of feature extraction, image segmentation, matching, and recognition.

[0053] Step S102: Combine complex shear wave transform to segment and extract edges from the preprocessed original image, and extract stratigraphic horizon segments from the original image.

[0054] In this embodiment, the complex shear wave transform is used to coarsely segment the preprocessed original image into low-frequency and high-frequency components. The low-frequency components primarily represent the image's contour information, while the high-frequency components mainly represent its edges and texture information. Because the shear wave transform is multi-directional, it can obtain high-frequency and low-frequency information from noisy images in multiple directions, effectively capturing image details and making subsequent edge extraction more accurate. Compared to directly using edge detection algorithms in the spatial domain, the method of extracting candidate edges from the filtered image using gradients is more accurate. Furthermore, compared to the operators in spatial domain edge detection algorithms, the complex shear wave transform algorithm has lower computational cost and better noise resistance.

[0055] Step S103: Delete the blocky pixels in the stratigraphic horizon line segment, perform cluster analysis using the minimum connectivity cost function of each stratigraphic horizon line segment, and perform denoising processing in combination with the length threshold of each line segment to obtain the final stratigraphic horizon line segment.

[0056] In this embodiment, two different methods are used for secondary denoising processing, which further improves the accuracy of stratigraphic interpretation.

[0057] This invention discloses an automatic interpretation method for stratigraphic positions in geological outcrop images, which solves the problems of large workload and low efficiency of manual interpretation. It realizes automatic interpretation of stratigraphic positions in geological outcrop images. By utilizing complex shear wave transform, the efficiency and accuracy of image edge extraction are increased. At the same time, the application of dual denoising method of cluster analysis further improves the accuracy of stratigraphic position interpretation.

[0058] Example 2: As shown in the attached document Figure 2 , 3 As shown in the figure, this invention discloses an automatic interpretation method for stratigraphic horizons in geological outcrop images, including:

[0059] Step S201: Obtain the original image of the selected region and perform preprocessing;

[0060] Specifically, it includes:

[0061] (1) Obtain the original image of the selected region;

[0062] (2) Perform color space conversion on the original image; the color space conversion here can use the HSV color space to convert the RGB color space to the HSV color space;

[0063] (3) The image is sharpened by inverse distance weighting using the Sobel and Laplace operators. Here, image sharpening means increasing the difference between pixels in the neighborhood to make the abrupt changes in the image more obvious, thereby strengthening the edges and contours of the image. In this embodiment, the Sobel and Laplace operators can be used. The Laplace operator is to define a discrete formula of second-order differential, then construct a filter template based on the formula, and then convolve the template with the original image to achieve sharpening. The Sobel operator is the most commonly used edge detection operator. It is a discrete difference operator that calculates the approximate value of the gray level of the image brightness function.

[0064] Step S202: Combine complex shear wave transform to segment and extract edges from the preprocessed original image, and extract stratigraphic horizon segments from the original image;

[0065] As attached Figure 2 As shown, it specifically includes:

[0066] Step S2021: Set the range of values ​​for the parameters in the complex shear wave transform, and use the complex shear wave transform to perform coarse segmentation on the original image. The range of values ​​for the parameters in the complex shear wave transform is set according to the actual situation. By setting the range of values ​​for the parameters in the complex shear wave transform, a complex domain shear transform system is constructed. All combinations of the shear transform system are iterated to complete the coarse segmentation of the original image.

[0067] The parameters and standard values ​​of the above complex shear wave transform are shown in the table below:

[0068]

[0069] Step S2022: Use an edge extraction algorithm to extract the edges of the coarsely segmented original image and extract the stratigraphic horizon line segments in the original image;

[0070] Step S2023: Use the dilation operation in digital morphology to connect adjacent stratigraphic segments of the same stratum.

[0071] Due to noise, some stratigraphic layers may be fragmented during extraction, resulting in a single stratigraphic layer becoming several segments. In such cases, pixel connection operations are needed to reduce the number of segments within the same stratigraphic layer. Therefore, this embodiment utilizes dilation operations from digital morphology for image thinning. Specifically, dilation connects adjacent stratigraphic segments within the same layer. To improve connection efficiency and avoid disrupting the stratigraphic shape, dilation is only applied to the endpoints of the segments. The connectivity information of each pixel within a segment is used to determine if it is an endpoint; if so, dilation is performed. After all extracted stratigraphic layer pixels have been determined, a thinning algorithm is used to restore the linear shape.

[0072] Step S202: Delete the blocky pixels in the stratigraphic horizon line segment, perform cluster analysis using the minimum connectivity cost function of each stratigraphic horizon line segment, and perform denoising processing in combination with the length threshold of each line segment to obtain the final stratigraphic horizon line segment.

[0073] As attached Figure 3 As shown, it specifically includes:

[0074] Step S2031: Use the connected component analysis algorithm to obtain the minimum outer matrix of each stratigraphic horizon segment and the minimum connectivity cost function value of each stratigraphic horizon segment;

[0075] The connected component analysis algorithm in this image processing operation can use the Two-Pass scanning method or the Seed-Filling method to perform connected component analysis on the extracted pixels, calculate the outer matrix of the connected pixels, and calculate the minimum connected cost function value based on the image features.

[0076] Step S2032: Obtain the corresponding aspect ratio and area based on the minimum bounding matrix of each stratigraphic segment, and delete pixels that meet the first denoising condition, wherein the first denoising condition includes that both the aspect ratio and area are greater than a set threshold.

[0077] Since the pixel points that appear as blocks are not part of the geological strata, a first denoising condition is set in this embodiment. Pixel points that meet the threshold are pixel points that appear as blocks. Pixel points that meet the first denoising condition are then deleted, thus completing the first denoising.

[0078] The formula for calculating the aspect ratio of the minimum bounding rectangle is shown below:

[0079] T = D / W

[0080] Where D and W are the length and width of the smallest rectangle in the connected region, respectively;

[0081] The above connectivity cost function is shown below.

[0082] cost=|c1-c2|+0.25(|c1-start|+|c1-end|+|c2-start|+|c2-end|)

[0083] Where c1 represents the current pixel; c2 represents the neighboring pixels; start represents the starting pixel; and end represents the ending pixel.

[0084] Step S2033: Combine the minimum connectivity cost function value with cluster analysis to classify the stratigraphic horizon segments, find and delete stratigraphic horizon segments that meet the second denoising condition, and obtain the final stratigraphic horizon segments. The second denoising condition includes the minimum connectivity cost function value being greater than the threshold obtained by clustering and the segment length being less than the set length threshold.

[0085] Since all line segments are divided into two categories, this embodiment uses binary clustering to classify them. Here, the representative inter-class maximum variance method is used for feature clustering, taking the cost value of each stratigraphic segment as its feature value. Because the more similar the colors, the smaller the cost function value; and the larger the cost function value, the more likely it is a noise segment, and short features have no geological significance, this embodiment calculates the cost value between each pixel in each stratigraphic segment. The median, mean, and variance represent the cost value of the entire stratigraphic segment, respectively. Binary clustering is performed once using the median, variance, and mean. Based on the threshold obtained from the binary clustering, segments greater than the threshold are grouped into one category. Then, the length of each segment determines whether it is a noise segment; that is, a stratigraphic segment is considered a noise segment only when its cost value is greater than the clustering threshold and its length is less than a given length threshold, and thus the noise segment is deleted.

[0086] Example 3: Obtaining as shown in the attached document Figure 4 The original image to be interpreted shown is used to interpret the attached image according to the above embodiments. Figure 4 The interpretation includes:

[0087] 1. Preprocess the original image, including the image after inverse distance weighted sharpening, as shown in the attached image. Figure 5 As shown;

[0094] The line segment extraction unit combines complex shear wave transform to segment and extract edges from the preprocessed original image, extracting stratigraphic line segments from the original image.

[0095] The denoising analysis unit removes blocky pixels from the stratigraphic horizon segments, performs clustering analysis using the minimum connectivity cost function of each stratigraphic horizon segment, and combines the length threshold of each segment for denoising processing to obtain the final stratigraphic horizon segments.
