description Borehole imaging technology is a critical means for the meticulous measurement of rock mass structures. However, the inherent issue of probe eccentricity significantly compromises the quality of borehole images obtained during testing. This paper proposes a method based on grayscale feature analysis for reverse positioning of imaging probes and image restoration. An analysis of the response characteristics of probe eccentricity was conducted, leading to the development of a grayscale feature model and a method for reverse positioning analysis. By calculating the error matrix using the probe’s spatial trajectory, this method corrects and restores grayscale errors caused by probe eccentricity in images. Quantitative analysis was conducted on the azimuthal errors in borehole images caused by probe eccentricity, establishing a method for correcting image perspective errors based on probe spatial-positioning calibration. Results indicate significant enhancement in the effectiveness and measurement accuracy of borehole images.
