“…Generally speaking, pores or empty spaces are represented by low gray‐level intensity values, followed by high intensity components, such as silicate, calcite, or bauxite and lastly, the very‐high intensity ingredients, such as iron oxides, pyrite, or barite. This variation in the gray‐level intensities of the porous material can be analyzed using three main methods: (a) Histograms, (b) Gray‐level co‐occurrence matrix (GLCM; Hall‐Beyer, 2017a, 2017b; Haralick, 1979; Haralick et al., 1973; Haralick & Shanmugam, 1973; Singh et al., 2019), and (c) Gray‐level size‐zone matrix (GLSZM; Singh, 2020; Thibault, 2009; Thibault et al., 2014).…”
