AI denoising and 3D for reservoir rock micro-CT

See the reservoir.
Not the noise.

Denoxel cleans micro-CT scans of core samples with a neural network trained on rock, proves the result, and shows every grain in 3D. Train it on your own scanner and batch whole folders, in one desktop application.

Porosity error

Relative to the clean reference. The raw scan is off by 26.8 %.

Porosity drives oil in place

Noise inflates porosity.
We bring it back.

Dark speckle in a raw scan is segmented as pore space. On the Kirby sandstone the raw scan overstates porosity by 5.8 points. After denoising it lands within 0.34 points of the clean reference.

Every grain. In 3D.

These are real micro-CT scans, rendered by Denoxel. Two real reservoir rocks, a sandstone and a pre-salt carbonate. See each as rock, as its pore space cast as a solid, or as the X-ray volume.

Other surface finishes

Stone surfaces colour every grain by its measured density. Ceramic and metal show the pure shape. The pore cast turns the empty pore space into a solid you can turn and measure.

Neural denoising

Built-in 2.5D models trained on rock. A billion voxels in 13 minutes on one RTX 4080, or on the CPU.

Proof, not promises

PSNR, SSIM and edge metrics against a reference, per-slice charts and a one-click PDF report.

Petrophysics

Porosity, specific surface and a sortable pore and grain catalogue with CSV export.

2D, MPR and 3D

Core plug view, crop, clip, pore cast and materials. Distance, angle and objects measured in micrometres.

Any scanner

TIFF, DICOM, NRRD, MetaImage and RAW, 8 to 32 bit. Large volumes load within a memory budget.

Private by design

Runs fully offline. No cloud. Your scans never leave your workstation.

From scanner to report

Fits the workflow you already have.

  1. ImportOpen the scan from any micro-CT vendor.
  2. DenoiseOne click, full volume, on the GPU.
  3. VerifyMetrics and charts against a reference.
  4. AnalyzePorosity, surface, pores, 3D.
  5. ReportPDF and CSV, or a whole folder in batch.

On-device training

Teach it your rock.
On your own GPU.

Every scanner and every rock is different. Train the model on your own noisy and clean scans, on this PC, and see before you save it whether it beats the built-in model.
