Abstract: A method of detecting significant events intersecting a borehole from an image of the borehole wall having: (a) converting the image into a three-dimensional orientation space; (b) selecting a parameter relation that represents the intersection of an event (3,5 and 6) with the borehole wall; (c) creating a parameter space consisting of numbers as a function of the parameters, wherein each number is a measure of the support in the orientation space for an event characterized by the parameters that pertain to that number; (d) selecting in the parameter space a set of the largest numbers, wherein the parameters that pertain to each of these largest numbers represent the intersections of the significant events with the borehole wall; and (e) presenting the intersections pertaining to the set of the largest numbers as a list of data representing significant events.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of transforming a colour image, wherein for each separate pixel a measured level of lightness, a measured chroma and a measured colour is determined, followed by a predetermined adjustment in the three-dimensional level of lightness, chroma and colour, wherein a. for each separate pixel a direction of adjustment is determined by selection of a three-dimensional adjustment level for lightness, chroma and colour change, b. and in that at the three-dimensional adjustment level selected the maximum available lightness change is determined, whereafter c. for each separate pixel the measured lightness level, the measured chroma and the measured colour is changed in the direction of the selected three-dimensional adjustment level in concurrence with a predetermined function, which at most amounts to the maximum available lightness change at the selected three-dimensional adjustment level.
