Analyze the color and pixels of the fluorescent image, and automatically identify the oil content of the rock cuttings based on the analysis results. There is no need to send the cuttings to the laboratory for analysis, which saves analysis time and improves efficiency.

The crack features generated in the rock cuttings observed using the confocal microscope can be used to evaluate the brittleness of the rock, providing a reference for drilling and fracturing design. The system is simple to operate, takes less time, and is more efficient.
[0090] Specifically, the light source module is controlled during multi-point detection, including:
[0091] Adjust the intensity, direction and frequency of the light source module in real time according to detection requirements;
[0092] Extracting intensity information corresponding to the intensity of the light adjusted each time;
[0093] Extracting direction information corresponding to the direction of light adjusted each time;
[0094] Extracting frequency information corresponding to the frequency of light adjusted each time;
[0095] Obtaining an intensity adjustment parameter, a direction adjustment parameter, and a frequency adjustment parameter using intensity information corresponding to the intensity of the light, direction information corresponding to the direction of the light, and frequency information corresponding to the frequency of the light;
[0096] The intensity adjustment parameter, the direction adjustment parameter and the frequency adjustment parameter are used to obtain the adjustment operation evaluation parameter of the light source module, wherein the adjustment operation evaluation parameter is obtained by the following formula:
[0097]
[0098] Wherein, Q represents the adjustment operation evaluation parameter; Q0 represents the preset reference parameter value; B represents the intensity adjustment parameter; Ψ represents the direction adjustment parameter; F represents the frequency adjustment parameter;
[0099] When the adjustment operation evaluation parameter is lower than a preset parameter threshold, an adjustment operation abnormality alarm is issued.
[0100] The technical effect of the above technical solution is that the system can adjust the intensity, direction and frequency of the light of the light source module in real time according to the detection requirements. This real-time dynamic adjustment ensures that the light source module can quickly adapt to different detection environments and requirements, and improves the flexibility and adaptability of the system. The system can extract information about the intensity, direction and frequency of the light after each adjustment, and obtain corresponding adjustment parameters (intensity adjustment parameters, direction adjustment parameters and frequency adjustment parameters) based on this information. This helps the system understand the current working status of the light source module and provides data support for subsequent evaluation and optimization.
[0101] By using the intensity adjustment parameter, direction adjustment parameter and frequency adjustment parameter, the system can obtain the adjustment operation evaluation parameter of the light source module. This evaluation parameter comprehensively considers multiple adjustment dimensions of the light source module and can fully reflect the performance of its adjustment operation. When the adjustment operation evaluation parameter is lower than the preset parameter threshold, the system can trigger an adjustment operation abnormality alarm. This abnormal alarm mechanism can promptly discover and report possible problems with the light source module, which helps users or system administrators take timely measures to repair or adjust it to avoid affecting the normal operation of the detection system. Through the above-mentioned real-time adjustment, data collection and analysis, adjustment operation evaluation and abnormal alarm mechanism, this technical solution can significantly improve the reliability and stability of the light source module in the multi-point detection system, ensuring that the system can continuously and accurately provide detection services.
[0102] In summary, this technical solution effectively improves the reliability and stability of the multi-point detection system by real-time controlling multiple parameters of the light source module, collecting and analyzing relevant information, and providing an evaluation and optimization mechanism, and has important practical application value.
[0103] Specifically, obtaining the intensity adjustment parameter, the direction adjustment parameter, and the frequency adjustment parameter using the intensity information corresponding to the intensity of the light, the direction information corresponding to the direction of the light, and the frequency information corresponding to the frequency of the light includes:
[0104] The intensity information corresponding to the intensity of the light adjusted each time is retrieved, and the intensity adjustment parameter is obtained according to the intensity information corresponding to the intensity of the light adjusted each time, wherein the intensity adjustment parameter is obtained by the following formula:
[0105]
[0106] Wherein, B represents the intensity adjustment parameter; b represents the first evaluation coefficient; n represents the number of times the light intensity is adjusted; B i Indicates the intensity value corresponding to the actual adjustment of the intensity of the i-th light when the adjustment is completed; B mi Indicates the target intensity value corresponding to the intensity adjustment of the i-th light; E b Indicates the preset maximum allowable strength error value; exp indicates the exponential function operation with e as the base;
[0107] The direction information corresponding to the direction of the light adjusted each time is retrieved, and the direction adjustment parameter is obtained according to the direction information corresponding to the direction of the light adjusted each time, wherein the direction adjustment parameter is obtained by the following formula:
[0108]
[0109] Where, Ψ represents the direction adjustment parameter; P brepresents the overall change rate of the amplitude of the intensity adjustment parameter; ω represents the second evaluation coefficient; m represents the number of light direction adjustments; α i Indicates the direction deviation angle value when the actual adjustment corresponding to the i-th direction adjustment is completed; α mi represents the target angle value corresponding to the i-th direction adjustment; E α Indicates the preset maximum allowable direction angle error value; exp indicates the exponential function operation with e as the base;
[0110] The frequency information corresponding to the frequency of the light adjusted each time is retrieved, and the frequency adjustment parameter is obtained according to the frequency information corresponding to the frequency of the light adjusted each time, wherein the frequency adjustment parameter is obtained by the following formula:
[0111]
[0112] Wherein, F represents the frequency adjustment parameter; b represents the first evaluation coefficient; ω represents the second evaluation coefficient; k represents the frequency adjustment times of the light; f i represents the frequency value when the actual adjustment corresponding to the ith frequency adjustment is completed; f mi Indicates the target frequency value corresponding to the i-th frequency adjustment; E f Indicates the preset maximum allowable frequency error value; exp indicates the exponential function operation with e as the base.
[0113] The technical effect of the above technical solution is: through specific formula calculation, the technical solution can quantitatively evaluate the adjustment performance of the light source module in terms of intensity, direction and frequency. This quantitative evaluation method makes the evaluation results more objective and comparable, which helps users or system administrators understand the adjustment performance of the light source module. Using exponential function calculations to evaluate the adjustment effect can more accurately reflect minor changes in the adjustment process. When there is a difference between the actual adjustment value and the target value, the exponential function can amplify the difference, making the adjustment effect more obvious, which is convenient for users or system administrators to quickly find problems and make adjustments.
[0114] When calculating the adjustment parameters, preset maximum allowable error values (Eb, Eα, Ef) are introduced. These error tolerances enable the system to tolerate adjustment errors within a certain range, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the system. When the error between the actual adjustment value and the target value exceeds these tolerances, the adjustment parameters will increase accordingly, thereby reminding the user or system administrator to make further adjustments. When calculating the adjustment parameters, this technical solution comprehensively considers information in three aspects: intensity, direction, and frequency. This comprehensive consideration makes the evaluation results more comprehensive and accurate, and can better reflect the overall adjustment performance of the light source module. When the adjustment operation evaluation parameters calculated using these adjustment parameters are lower than the preset parameter threshold, the system will trigger an abnormal alarm. This abnormal alarm mechanism can promptly detect and report possible problems with the light source module to avoid affecting the normal operation of the detection system.
[0115] In summary, the above technical solution significantly improves the adjustment performance of the light source module in the multi-point detection system and the reliability of the system by quantitatively evaluating the adjustment performance, accurately feeding back the adjustment effect, introducing error tolerance, comprehensively considering multiple factors, and providing an abnormal alarm mechanism. This technical solution has important practical application value and can provide effective technical support and guarantee for users or system administrators.
