Title: Data fusion enhanced multi-modality wellbore integrity inspection system

Abstract

A downhole multi-modality inspection system includes a first imaging device operable to generate first imaging data and a second imaging device operable to generate second imaging data. The first imaging device includes a first source operable to emit energy of a first modality, and a first detector operable to detect returning energy induced by the emitted energy of the first modality. The second imaging device includes a second source operable to emit energy of a second modality, and a second detector operable to detect returning energy induced by the emitted energy of the second modality. The system further includes a processor configured to receive the first imaging data and the second imaging data, and integrate the first imaging data with the second imaging data into an enhanced data stream. The processor correlates the first imaging data and the second imaging data to provide enhanced data for detecting potential wellbore anomalies.
