Development of a supervised classification method to construct 2D mineral maps on backscattered electron images
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Tubitak, 2020)The Mineral Liberation Analyzer (MLA) can be used to obtain mineral maps from backscattered electron (BSE) images of particles. This paper proposes an alternative methodology that includes random forest classification, a prospective machine learning algorithm, to develop mineral maps from BSE images. The results show that the overall accuracy and kappa statistic of the proposed method are 97% and 0.94, respectively, proving that random forest classification is accurate. The accuracy indicators ...

Using Random Forest Tree Classification for Evaluating Vertical Cross-Sections in Epoxy Blocks to Get Unbiased Estimates for 3D Mineral Map
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Gazi University, 2021)Areal mineral maps are constructed from the polished sections of particles that settle to the bottom of epoxy resin. However, heavy minerals can preferentially settle to the bottom, making the polished surface rich in heavy minerals. Therefore, polished sections will become biased estimates of the volumetric (3D) map. The study aims to test whether any vertical cross-section (any section along the settling direction of particles) can be an unbiased estimate of the 3D mineral map of a chromite ore ...
