Requirements

• Image files in BMP, JPG, PNG, or TIF format.

• Document object type (DOC) Depth-oriented image [DOC_DEPT] installed in GeoDin and registered in the database.

Steps

1. Check Object Type Installation

• Verify that (DOC) Depth-oriented image [DOC_DEPT] is installed in your GeoDin system.

• If not, install it (see Installing Object Types).

2. Prepare and Attach Images

• Name image files clearly (e.g., drill core sections) for easy depth assignment.

• Add images as documents to the borehole.

• Register the document description (DOC) Depth-oriented image [DOC_DEPT] in the database if needed.

• Enter depth values for each image under the Dimensions tab.

• Tip: Place all core photos in one folder (e.g., core photos) for easier display later.

3. Display Images in Layout

• Use a reference graphic element based on the borehole’s vertical scale (e.g., borehole log, well design, samples).

• Add a borehole log element next to the reference element.

• In the borehole log’s object properties, set the data source to Documents.

• Click Browse Documents and select the folder containing the depth-oriented images.

• GeoDin will automatically stitch images at the correct depths based on the Dimensions tab values.

Optional Settings for Image Display

• Pixel position from/to: Defines which pixel lines correspond to depth values. (Top margin = pixel position 0)

• Pixel position left/right: Crop unwanted margins by specifying pixel positions.

• Pixel position header from/to: Define a header area to display above the image column. (Enable “Draw header” in object properties under Properties → Document settings → Header)

• Rotation angle: Rotate the image before mosaicking.
