Unsupervised Classification of Intrusive Igneous Rock Thin Section Images using Edge Detection and Colour Analysis
Classification of rocks is one of the fundamental tasks in a geological
study. The process requires a human expert to examine sampled thin section
images under a microscope. In this study, we propose a method that uses
microscope automation, digital image acquisition, edge detection and colour
analysis (histogram). We collected 60 digital images from 20 standard thin
sections using a digital camera mounted on a conventional microscope. Each
image is partitioned into a finite number of cells that form a grid structure.
Edge and colour profile of pixels inside each cell determine its
classification. The individual cells then determine the thin section image
classification via a majority voting scheme. Our method yielded successful
results as high as 90% to 100% precision.Comment: To appear in 2017 IEEE International Conference On Signal and Image
