description | Rock lithology recognition plays a fundamental role in geological survey research, mineral resource exploration, mining engineering, etc. However, the objectivity of researchers, rock variable natures, and tedious experimental processes make it difficult to ensure the accurate and effective identification of rock lithology. Additionally, multitype hybrid rock lithology identification is challenging, and few studies on this issue are available. In this paper, a novel multitype hybrid rock lithology detection method was proposed based on convolutional neural network (CNN), and neural network model compression technology was adopted to guarantee the model inference efficiency. Four fundamental single class rock datasets: sandstone, shale, monzogranite, and tuff were collected. At the same time, multitype hybrid rock lithologies datasets were obtained based on data augmentation method. The proposed model was then trained on multitype hybrid rock lithologies datasets. Besides, for comparison purposes, the other three algorithms, were trained and evaluated. Experimental results revealed that our method exhibited the best performance in terms of precision, recall, and efficiency compared with the other three algorithms. Furthermore, the inference time of the proposed model is twice as fast as the other three methods. It only needs 11 milliseconds for single image detection, making it possible to be applied to the industry by transforming the algorithm to an embedded hardware device or Android platform. |
