Anti-distortion workflow for borehole image restoration

Systems and techniques of the present disclosure may correct sensed data to account for an offset position of an imaging tool that is deployed in a wellbore. When an imaging tool is deployed at a location that does not coincide with a center point of the wellbore, images generated from acquired data may be distorted as some of image data will be collected at locations closer to a wellbore wall than other image data. Since the resolution of a sensing device varies with distance, the resolution of data collected by a sensing device will vary with distance that separates the sensing device from the wellbore wall. Furthermore, judgments of distance to features of the wellbore wall may also be distorted because of this offset. As such, systems and techniques of the present disclosure are directed to adjust collected image data to correct for both distance and resolution related effects.
