1. A method, comprising:
collecting component resistivity data utilizing a resistivity tool located downhole of an active borehole of a well site, wherein the component resistivity data is collected at a subterranean position;
analyzing a deflection of each component of the resistivity data to identify a degree of deflection for each component of the resistivity data;
reconstructing the component resistivity data to generate reconstructed resistivity data utilizing a three-dimensional (3D) inversion algorithm and the degree of deflection for each component of the resistivity data, wherein the reconstructed resistivity data represents information on part of a metal pipe object or of a proximate borehole that is proximate the active borehole;
computing generated results utilizing the reconstructed resistivity data, wherein the generated results include a distance parameter and a direction parameter from the resistivity tool to the metal pipe or the proximate borehole; and
adjusting a geo-steering of a drill bit using the reconstructed resistivity data and the subterranean position.
