Abstract

A method is developed for automated identification of groups of macerals (vitrinite, inertinite, liptinite, and semivitrinite) and mineral inclusions from digital microphotographs of polished coal briquet surfaces. It is based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) and computer vision. For a test sample, the accuracy attained is 92.31%; that is comparable with the results of manual assessment. This method greatly increases the speed of coal assessment and reduces the subjectivity. The algorithm only works for preexisting images. The current study doesn’t address the creation of new images: the equipment required, sample preparation, and the specifics of microphotography.
