Claim:
1. A method for determining a dip of at least part of a geological structure in a subterranean formation, comprising: obtaining 3D resistivity data and a borehole image, wherein the 3D resistivity data and the borehole image were acquired using at least one data acquisition tool in a borehole penetrating the subterranean formation; generating, using a 3D resistivity analyzer, a first intermediate result describing the dip based on the 3D resistivity data; generating, using a borehole image analyzer, a second intermediate result describing the dip based on the borehole image; and generating, by a computer processor combining the first intermediate result and the second intermediate result based on a pre-determined criterion, an integrated result describing the dip based at least in part on a combination of the first intermediate result and the second intermediate result, wherein generating the integrated result comprises: wherein the integrated result describing the dip is configured to be used by a controller to control a drilling direction of a borehole.
