Abstract: Spectral imaging systems are used to gather spectral image data on earthen material moving within an earthen material processing system, such as a mineral processing system or cement plant. Machine learning models such as 3D convolutional neural networks may be utilized to process the spectral image data to determine or classify one or more characteristics of the earthen material, such as ore grade, mineral alteration(s), moisture content, lithology and/or mineralogy. Such earthen material characteristics, or classifications thereof, may then be utilized to automatically control one or more operational characteristics of the earthen material processing system, such as rotational speed of milling equipment or flow rates of water or chemicals added to milling equipment or mineral concentration systems.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for locating and/or determining the condition of a wear part in an image of an operating implement associated with heavy equipment is disclosed. The method involves capturing at least one image of the operating implement during operation of the heavy equipment, the image including a plurality of pixels each having an intensity value. The method also involves selecting successive pixel subsets within the plurality of pixels, and processing each pixel subset to determine whether pixel intensity values in the pixel subset meet a matching criterion indicating a likelihood that the pixel subset corresponds to the wear part. The matching criterion is based on processing a labeled set of training images during a training exercise prior to capturing the at least one image of the operating implement.
