Abstract
Each of the N surface images, used to restore the borehole or the core sample surface image, is segmented into related components (C(12), C(11), . . . ) Which are grouped into related regions (C(8)), each touching both the right and left edges of the image. After smoothing out their contours, the related regions are represented in the form of an image, called bed image, representative uftlle stratification beds. The contours appearing on the N bed images are matched to construct the bed boundary sinusoidal curves. This is particularly useful in determining stratification of a geological site.
