Abstract: Methods, systems, devices, and products for performing well logging in a borehole intersecting an earth formation to obtain and transmit an acoustic reflection image of the formation. Methods include identifying a set of features in the acoustic reflection image substantially fitting a pattern, wherein the set of features corresponds to a portion of at least one reflecting structural interface of the formation; and using a representation of the pattern as the compressed representation of the acoustic reflection image. The features may be amplitude peaks in the acoustic reflection image, and the pattern may be a line segment therein that is obtained from the amplitude peaks. Identifying the set of features may include generating a binary image of the amplitude peaks.
