The variable-focus imaging module is electrically connected to the secondary microscopic feature acquisition module for rock and ore through the data transmission interface. A control switch is installed on the outer side wall of the cylindrical battery compartment, and the control switch is electrically connected to the variable-focus imaging module.

[0029] The secondary microscopic feature acquisition system for rock and ore in this embodiment is a powerful and easy-to-operate device, which can significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of geological surveys and mineral explorations. It can quickly collect the fine mineral composition and structural characteristics of rock and ore, meet the needs of researchers for further indoor comprehensive research, and quickly discover important geological bodies and ore prospecting clues, etc.

[0030] This embodiment discloses a portable secondary microscopic feature acquisition system for rock and ore, which mainly consists of a variable-focus high-power lens, an optical image sensor, a battery compartment handle 1, an image data transmission line, and a secondary microscopic feature acquisition APP for rock and ore.

[0031] The battery compartment handle 1 includes a cylindrical metal shell, a battery compartment, and a light source switch 2. The cylindrical metal battery compartment of the battery compartment handle 1 can accommodate two No. 5 dry batteries. The light source switch 2 is installed at one end close to the lens, and the other end is equipped with a USB port. The battery compartment handle 1 is horizontally connected to the variable-focus lens. The USB end of the image data transmission line is connected to the USB end of the battery compartment handle 1.

[0032] The image data line consists of a USB port, a transmission line, and a mini USB port with OTG function.

[0033] The variable-focus high-power lens includes a cylindrical metal shell, a high-power coated eyepiece 4, an objective lens, a zoom knob 5, a focus knob 6, and an LED light source.

[0034] The optical image sensor consists of 4 micro cameras 3. A variable-focus high-magnification lens mounts 4 high-definition micro cameras 3 on the top of a cylindrical metal shell. Below the cameras, a high-magnification coated eyepiece 4, a zoom knob 5, a focus knob 6, a high-magnification coated objective 7, an LED lamp bead, and a protective cover are installed in sequence. Among them, the 4 high-definition micro cameras 3 are located at the top of the lens and are used to capture the fine structural features of rock and ore. The high-magnification coated eyepiece 4 and objective provide high-magnification functions, enabling the observer to clearly see the submicroscopic features of rock and ore. The zoom knob 5 and focus knob 6 allow users to adjust the magnification and focus of the lens as needed to obtain the best imaging effect. The LED light source provides illumination to ensure clear images can be obtained even in low-light environments. The protective cover can protect the lens from damage and may also help reduce stray light interference.

[0035] The APP for collecting submicroscopic features of rock and ore consists of functions such as taking pictures, recording videos, data storage, and automatic recognition. The APP for collecting submicroscopic features of rock and ore is installed on terminals such as mobile phones and is connected to an image data transmission line. Operations such as taking pictures, recording videos, storing, and automatically recognizing the images of submicroscopic features of rock and ore can be performed on the terminal to complete the collection and recognition of submicroscopic features of rock and ore.

[0036] Contents of taking pictures and recording videos: Users can control the high-definition micro cameras through the APP to take high-resolution pictures or record videos of rock and ore samples, and the real-time preview function is supported to ensure the accuracy of the captured content.

[0037] Data storage and management: The captured images can be directly saved in the local storage or cloud storage of terminal devices such as mobile phones, and a convenient data management interface is provided to facilitate users to classify, retrieve, and share data.

[0038] Automatic recognition function: With the rapid development of deep learning technology, significant progress has been made in the field of image recognition. The automatic recognition of rocks and ores is an important link in geological surveys and mineral exploration. Traditional methods mainly rely on manual identification, which is time-consuming and easily affected by experts' experience. Deep learning technology can automatically learn and extract key features from a large amount of image data, and then accurately understand the content of the images. Therefore, it is feasible to develop algorithms for automatically identifying the types and features of rock and ore using deep learning technology.

[0039] This embodiment integrates a deep learning algorithm and can automatically identify the types and features of rock and ore. Users only need to upload images, and the APP can automatically give the recognition results, greatly improving the recognition efficiency.

[0040] Obtain training data, where the training data includes training images and the corresponding rock and ore types.

[0041] Build an identification model based on a convolutional neural network, input training data into the identification model for classification prediction, and train with the goal of minimizing the loss between the initial training result after classification prediction and the type of rock and ore corresponding to the training image to obtain a trained identification model;

[0042] Deploy the trained identification model to the APP. After the user uploads an image, the APP calls the identification model for automatic identification and gives the result.

[0043] The portable rock and ore sub-microscopic feature acquisition system of this embodiment combines a high-definition micro camera, a deep learning algorithm, and a convenient APP interface, providing users with an efficient and accurate rock and ore identification and recording tool. This system has broad application prospects and important value in fields such as geological surveys and mineral exploration. In the future, with the continuous progress of technology and the expansion of application scenarios, this system is expected to achieve more functional innovations and optimizations, providing more intelligent solutions for research in related fields.

[0044] The specific implementation process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0045] In this embodiment, with the above structure and APP, when observing rock and ore, press the variable-focus high-power lens closely against the rock and ore specimen, aim at the area to be observed, turn on the LED light source, and adjust the zoom knob 5 and the focus knob 6 until the target object to be observed is clearly imaged in the acquisition terminal; use the rock and ore sub-microscopic feature acquisition APP to take pictures, record videos, store or identify operations.

[0046] The system of this embodiment adopts a cylindrical metal shell design, which is not only structurally compact but also lightweight, facilitating field carrying and use. The system of this embodiment integrates control elements such as a zoom knob, a focus knob, and a light source switch. Users can simply operate to adjust the magnification, focus, and light source of the lens without complex professional skills. Through the high-definition micro camera and the rock and ore sub-microscopic feature acquisition APP in this embodiment, users can directly image, identify, and record the sub-microscopic features of rock and ore on-site without returning to the laboratory for post-processing, greatly improving work efficiency.

[0047] The system provided by this embodiment has a simple structure, and maintenance and upkeep are relatively simple. Users only need to regularly clean the lens and the shell, check the battery power and connection lines, etc. to ensure the normal operation of the system. Compared with traditional large microscopes, the system of this embodiment has a relatively low cost and is easier to popularize and promote, enabling more scientific research institutions and geological survey teams to be equipped with this equipment and improving the overall research level and work efficiency.

[0048] In summary, the portable sub-microscopic feature acquisition system of this embodiment has multiple advantages such as portability and ease of use, high magnification and fine observation, multi-light source illumination and strong adaptability, digital recording and storage, as well as cost-effectiveness and popularity. These advantages make it have broad application prospects and important value in geological surveys, mineral exploration, and other related fields.
