Reconstruction of pore space from a pore connectivity network via morphological transformations

Pore and grain regions were separated via thresholding techniques from sandstone images. A mathematical morphology-based framework was followed to pack the random pore space with overlapping and nonoverlapping disks.

description Pore and grain regions were separated via thresholding techniques from sandstone images. A mathematical morphology-based framework was followed to pack the random pore space with overlapping and nonoverlapping disks. This framework has several advantages in implementation and is generally applicable to multiscale images. The random pore space was reconstructed in two ways from the minimum morphological information through: (a) overlapping and (b) nonoverlapping disks of various shapes and sizes. The structuring elements employed to carry out this analysis included octagon, square and rhombus templates. The results achieved through these two types of reconstruction of sandstone pores are compared. These results provided the basis on which to test the accuracy of these techniques. Reconstruction recovery was tested by computing shapiness indices for the reconstructed pores achieved through the two methods.
