Abstract:

In this study based on image analysis, an ore grade estimation model was developed. The study was performed at a limestone mine in central Iran. The samples were collected from different parts of the mine and crushed in size from 2.58 cm down to 15 cm. The images of the samples were taken in appropriate environment and processed. A total of 76 features were extracted from the identified rock samples in all images. Neural network used as an intelligent tool for ore grade estimation and the features of every image were combined with weighted average method. In order to feature dimensional decrease, principal component analysis method was used. Six principal components, which were extracted from the feature vectors, captured 90.661% of the total feature variance. Components were used as the input to neural network and four grade attributes of limestone (CaCO3, Al2O3, Fe2O3 and MgCO3) were used as the output. The root of mean squared error between the observed values and the model estimated values for the test data set are 6.378, 4.847, 0.1513 and 0.0284, the R2 values are 0.7852, 0.8663, 0.7591and 0.8094 for the mentioned chemical composition respectively. The magnitude of R2 indicates the correlation between actual and estimated data. Therefore, it can be inferred that the model can successfully estimate the limestone chemical compositions percentage.

Assessing of Fabric Appearance Changes Using Image Processing Techniques

 This paper describes the use of image processing to measure lightness changes of fabric appearance. The lightness changes due to dyeing, washing and exposure to light treatments are studied. These properties are measured by using the changes in the intensity levels of the fabrics image and the L* obtained by a spectrophotometer. For each case, analysis of variance (ANOVA) is carded out and the...

Using Pattern-Recognition Techniques

Two incident·detection experiments were conducted on the Queen Elizabeth Way Freeway Surveillance and Control System in Ontario. A pattern·recognition approach was applied to improve incident·detection algorithms. By considering the trueand false-incident-alarm identification process as pattern-recognition in nature, the maximum-likelihood decision principle was applied to develop an optimum in...

Moving Object Recognition Using Background Subtraction and Image Processing Techniques

A visual prosthesis that applies electrical stimulation to different parts of the visual pathway has been proposed as a viable approach to restore functional vision. However, the created percept is currently limited due to the low-resolution images elicited from a limited number of stimulating electrodes. Thus, methods to optimize the visual precepts providing useful visual information are bein...

volume estimation of potatoes using image processing

volume estimation of most agricultural products using mathematical methods is not accurate because of their irregular shape. an alternative method is image processing, which can be used in continuous sorting machines. the objective of this study is to find a practical method for volume estimation of potatoes using image processing. fifty potatoes (marfona variety) were selected as experimental ...
