Abstract

A method of data binning includes the steps of partitioning a circumference of a tool face into M number of sectors, defining each data point relating to resistivity information by a fidelity function g(Φ), assigning to each data point a weight for each of the M number of sectors, wherein the weight is associated with an integral of the fidelity function g(Φ) over the sector, and computing an average of the data points weighted by their respective weights for each of the M sectors.
