• AI Tool to Facilitate Mineral Processing Developed at ITMO

  Students of ITMO’s Computer Technologies Laboratory have created a series of AI models for processing of clumped texture images. AI models tend to have a hard time “seeing” the borders of objects – for instance, telling one type of mineral from another – but now they can label 600 images in an hour. The new open-source solution can be used to measure the size and distribution of various objects (granulometry) in a variety of fields: examples include precious and colored metals in mining, granular materials and crystals in food or agricultural industries, as well as oil refining.
