Metals used in everyday life are produced from ores occurring in the Earth’s crust. Geological processes are known to concentrate minerals to form ores of economic value.

In the context of part segmentation from 2D edge images, this paper presents some interesting results with a novel method that addresses the problem of ltering a redundant set of part hypotheses that retains only those that are likely to correspond to actual parts. In the proposed method, supporting evidence for hypotheses are put in competition in a Minimum Description-Length (MDL) framework t...
