Abstract

A method for estimating a porosity of a rock sample includes acquiring a calibrated digital image of the rock sample, extracting color and texture features from the digital image of the rock sample, and estimating the porosity of the rock sample using a model to evaluate the extracted color features and texture features. The model is configured to correlate digital image color and texture features with porosity.
