Abstract
A method for obtaining a representation of the textures of a geological structure, characterized in that images characteristic of the sedimentology of the environment are formed, parameters corresponding to the nature of the images are estimated at every point of each image and in a spatial domain around the point so as to determine a texture vector for each of the points and to obtain a set of texture vectors. The method also includes the steps of selecting texture vectors representative of the characteristic textures of the geological environment in the set of texture vectors; and using a neural network formed of cells distributed in two dimensions which contains as many cells as characteristic textures. The selected texture vectors are used to submit the neural network to a learning process so that a final topology map of the textures characteristic of the geological environment is obtained.
