Abstract:

Recognition of ore deposit genesis is still a controversial challenge for economic geologists. Here, this task was addressed by the virtue of Bayesian data fusion (BDF) implementing available proofs: semi-schematic examples with two (Cu and Pb + Zn) and three (Cu, Pb + Zn and Ag) evidences. The data, in current paper are just concentrations of indicated elements, were collected from Angouran’s deposit in Iran at prospecting and general exploration stages. BDF was used for discrimination between three geneses of Massive Sulfide, Mississippi and SEDEX types. Better genesis recognition with clear discrimination between the geneses was achieved by BDF as compared with earlier studies. The results showed that uncertainties were reduced from 50% to less than 30% and deposit recognition was improved greatly. Furthermore, we believe that using more properties can have a beneficial effect on the overall outcome. The comparison made between 2 and 3 properties showed that the amount of probable belonging values to any type of deposit was greater in 3 properties. It was also confirmed that using the completed information from the various stages of exploration progress can be amplified and be used for genesis recognition via BDF.

Bayesian Approach for Data and Image Fusion

Abstract. This paper is a tutorial on Bayesian estimation approach to multi-sensor data and image fusion. First a few examples of simple image fusion problems are presented. Then, the simple case of registered image fusion problem is considered to show the basics of the Bayesian estimation approach and its link to classical data fusion methods such as simple mean or median values, Principal Com...

A New Approach to Self-Localization for Mobile Robots Using Sensor Data Fusion

This paper proposes a new approach for calibration of dead reckoning process. Using the well-known UMBmark (University of Michigan Benchmark) is not sufficient for a desirable calibration of dead reckoning. Besides, existing calibration methods usually require explicit measurement of actual motion of the robot. Some recent methods use the smart encoder trailer or long range finder sensors such ...

Bayesian Approach for Optimal Multi-Source Data Fusion

This paper describes a Bayesian approach for multi-sensor data fusion. Unlike the traditional Bayesian approaches, we introduce using the system model to estimate the state evolution, which prevents from dealing with Dirac delta function and is much more convenient and easier for computation. The efficacy of this approach is validated by localizing a mobile electrical cart equipped with multipl...
