System for analyzing scan data of a core sample includes an imaging system for obtaining images of a first segment and a second segment of the core sample, and one or more processors for receiving the images of the first segment and the second segment, and setting the images of the first segment adjacent to the images of the second segment coaxially in series to form a stacked image. The method includes receiving image data of segments of the core sample, determining values representative of one or more physical characteristics of the core sample, comparing the values to known reference information of a material similar to the material of the core sample, and determining the one or more physical characteristics of the core sample based at least in part on the comparison.
