In the thrilling world of oil exploration, drill core samples are key to unlocking geological information critical to finding lucrative oil deposits. Despite the importance of these samples, traditional core logging techniques are known to be laborious and, worse still, subjective. Thankfully, the industry has embraced an innovative solution core imaging that allows for nondestructive and noninvasive rapid characterization of large quantities of drill cores. Our preeminent research paper aims to tackle the pressing problem of core detection and classification. Using state-of-the-art techniques, we present a groundbreaking solution that will transform the industry. Our first challenge is detecting the cores and segmenting the holes in images, which we will achieve using the Faster RCNN and Mask RCNN models, respectively. Then, we will address the problem of filling the hole in the core image, utilizing the powerful Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and employing Contextual Residual Aggregation (CRA) to create high-frequency residuals for missing contents in images. Finally, we will apply sophisticated texture recognition models for the classification of core images, revealing crucial information to oil companies in their quest to uncover valuable oil deposits. Our research paper presents an innovative and groundbreaking approach to tackling the complex issues surrounding core detection and classification. By harnessing cutting-edge techniques and technologies, we are poised to revolutionize the industry and make significant contributions to the field of oil exploration.
