Imago

Imago is a software solution offered by Seequent, The Bentley Subsurface Company, that aims to streamline the core logging process and provide easy access, collaboration, and validation of drillhole and sample data using geoscientific images. According to the vendor, Imago is suitable for companies of all sizes, from small exploration firms to large mining corporations. The software is utilized by geologists, geoscientists, mining companies, environmental consultants, academic and research institutions, and civil engineering firms. By capturing consistent and high-quality images of drill core and integrating with geological data and modeling tools, Imago is said to support and validate geological information, aid in decision-making, and enhance the accuracy of geological models.

Key Features

Capture Better Images: According to the vendor, Imago enables users to easily capture consistent, high-quality images of drillhole core, eliminating the need for manual handling and streamlining the core logging process.

Instant Accessibility: Imago automatically processes and catalogs core imagery in a cloud-based virtual coreshed, allowing users to instantly access the images from anywhere at any time, facilitating remote collaboration and decision-making.

Seamless Integration: Imago seamlessly integrates with various geological tools, providing instant access to drill core images alongside geological data, enhancing interpretation and modeling workflows.

Consistent Quality: Imago ensures consistent quality by controlling the camera setup and automatically cropping, naming, and cataloging the images, preserving the original observations made during core collection.

Agile Operation: According to the vendor, Imago Capture works offline, making it suitable for remote exploration sites or mining environments with limited connectivity. It can be used in various hardware configurations, ensuring flexibility and adaptability to different operational scenarios.

Validate Assays and Log Data: Imago allows users to validate logs and assays by displaying them alongside the original core images in the Imago viewer, ensuring accurate data interpretation and decision-making based on the original observations.

Extract Meaningful Insights: Imago enables users to extract meaningful insights from geoscientific imagery and connect them to modeling workflows, supporting and validating geological models and interpretations.

Imago Hardware: Imago provides guidance on the hardware required for capturing high-quality images, offering a range of options such as handheld rigs, imaging stations, mobile capture devices, and camera-to-core mobile tray photography systems.

Imago Hardware Suppliers: Imago collaborates with hardware suppliers to offer users a range of hardware options for capturing high-quality images. Suppliers such as Dynamics G-Ex, CoreSafe Core Solutions, and Westernex provide support and guidance for setting up the Imago hardware configuration.
