Zusammenfassung: | The disclosure relates to a method for analysing cuttings exiting a borehole. The method comprises taking at least an image of a sample of cuttings on a background surface, obtaining spectra representative of the image in the (hue, saturation, brightness) coordinate space, wherein each spectrum is associated to a coordinate and is representative of the distribution of the values of the pixels for the coordinate. Based on the spectrum and the values of each pixel for the associated coordinate, classifying the pixel in one of a plurality of groups, wherein each group is representative of a type of objects within the image, i.e. cuttings and background surface. The method also comprises determining at least a cuttings zone in the image based on the classification of the pixels. |
