Rock Classification with Features Based on Higher Order Riesz Transform
Martin Reinhardt, Swanhild Bernstein, Johanna Richter · Advances in Applied Clifford Algebras · 2022
Abstract Most modern algorithms use convolutional neural networks to classify image data of different kinds. While this approach is a good method to differentiate between natural images of objects, big datasets are needed for the training process. Another drawback is the demand for high computational power. We introduce a new approach which involves classic feature vectors with structural information based on higher order Riesz transform. Following this way we create a framework specialized for texture data like images of rock cross-sections. The key advantages are faster computations and more versatile choices of the underlying machine learning tools while maintaining a comparable accuracy in comparison with state-of-the-art algorithms.
