GeoLayer / Borehole Log Digitiser
An AI borehole log digitiser — or digitizer — reads a borehole log (scanned, handwritten or digital) and turns it into structured, editable data instead of re-typing it by hand. Here is what that means, what to look for, and how GeoLayer approaches it.
A borehole log records what was found down a hole — depth intervals, strata descriptions, SPT N-values, RQD and coordinates — usually as a PDF or a paper sheet. An AI borehole log digitiser uses AI to read that log the way an engineer does and extract those values into structured data, rather than someone re-keying them into a spreadsheet.
A note on spelling: "digitiser" and "digitisation" are the British and Australian forms; "digitizer" and "digitization" are American. They mean the same thing.
| Capability | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Reads scanned & handwritten logs | Real field logs are rarely clean digital PDFs |
| Extracts depth, strata, SPT, RQD, coordinates | These are the values you actually need downstream |
| Engineer review with confidence flags | You confirm uncertain values instead of trusting blindly |
| Exports to AGS4, Excel, CAD | The data has to drop into the tools you already use |
| More than extraction | Reports, plots and 3D models add value from the same data |
GeoLayer is a specialised AI borehole log digitiser. You upload a borehole log PDF — scanned, photographed or handwritten — its AI extracts depth, strata, SPT and RQD, you review every value on screen with confidence flags, then export to AGS4, Excel, CAD (DXF) and CSV. From the same extraction it also generates reports, plots the data and builds 3D ground models.
It is a tool that uses AI to read a borehole log — scanned, handwritten or digital — and extract its data (depth, strata, SPT, RQD and coordinates) into a structured, editable format, instead of re-typing it by hand.
Both mean the same thing — "digitiser"/"digitisation" is the British and Australian spelling and "digitizer"/"digitization" is the American one. GeoLayer works the same either way.
Yes. GeoLayer is built for handwritten, photographed and scanned logs, and flags any value it is unsure about so an engineer can confirm it before export.
