Abstract
An image system captures images and automatically identifies objects in an object flow at one or more mechanical mud separation machines. A control signal may be generated to change one or more drilling parameters in response to identifying the objects in an object flow. These parameters may be one of a drill speed, an equivalent circulating density, or a control valve.
