Abstract EN
We used a Hierarchical Neuro-Fuzzy Class Method based on binary space partitioning (NFHB-Class Method) for macroscopic rock texture classification.
The relevance of this study is in helping Geologists in the diagnosis and planning of oil reservoir exploration.
The proposed method is capable of generating its own decision structure, with automatic extraction of fuzzy rules.
These rules are linguistically interpretable, thus explaining the obtained data structure.
The presented image classification for macroscopic rocks is based on texture descriptors, such as spatial variation coefficient, Hurst coefficient, entropy, and cooccurrence matrix.
Four rock classes have been evaluated by the NFHB-Class Method: gneiss (two subclasses), basalt (four subclasses), diabase (five subclasses), and rhyolite (five subclasses).
These four rock classes are of great interest in the evaluation of oil boreholes, which is considered a complex task by geologists.
We present a computer method to solve this problem.
In order to evaluate system performance, we used 50 RGB images for each rock classes and subclasses, thus producing a total of 800 images.
For all rock classes, the NFHB-Class Method achieved a percentage of correct hits over 73%.
The proposed method converged for all tests presented in the case study.
