pdf Automated diagnostics of carbonate rocks from microphotographs of thin sections based on machine learning
On the basis of machine learning technology, a computer model for diagnosing carbonate rocks from thin section images has been developed. The model uses the Dunham' classification and identifies four types of carbonates - mudstone, wackestone, packstone, grainstone, with 98% accuracy. The ability to use the model and software based on it is currently limited to the given carbonate classes. Any images outside of these classes will be misdiagnosed. The pros of the model include its high speed of operation and reproducibility of results. It can be used as a human assistant when working with large volumes of material.

Keywords: carbonates, thin sections, machine learning, image classification.
