• 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.

• Express Analyzer — a New Project from Future Technologies' Residents

  There are numerous techniques that miners use to get precious stones and metals; gold was once washed, silver — melted from ore. Is there a simpler way, like using some device to check where the desired minerals are? Residents of the Future Technologies accelerators that work on a new express analyzer can answer this question, so they've shared about how analyzing color can help in extraction of mineral resources and how such technologies can even be applied in food production.
