Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of metamorphic rock PTt trajectory reconstruction, and more specifically to a method and system for metamorphic rock PTt trajectory reconstruction based on multi-source data fusion. Background Technology
[0002] Pressure-temperature-time (PTt) trajectory reconstruction of metamorphic rocks is a core technical means to understand the history of crustal evolution. Its research results are widely used in fields such as the analysis of orogenic belt tectonic processes, the diagnosis of mineralization environment of ore deposits, and the inversion of deep Earth processes.
[0003] Traditional metamorphic rock PTT studies typically rely on two technical approaches. One is the traditional thermobarometry method based on single-mineral chemical composition. Although this method is widely used, it has significant limitations: its applicability is highly dependent on specific mineral assemblages, and in many rocks that have undergone deep melting, it is mostly a product of retrograde metamorphism, making it unable to effectively capture peak metamorphic conditions. At the same time, this method is highly dependent on manually selecting mineral pairs and manually inputting composition data, which is highly subjective and easily leads to a step-by-step amplification of errors due to misinterpretation of mineral balance or inappropriate selection of activity models, ultimately resulting in systematic biases in geological interpretation.
[0004] Another approach combines whole-rock composition and thermodynamic phase equilibrium simulation, using calculated PT profiles to define metamorphic conditions, which is theoretically more accurate. However, this approach still faces significant challenges in practice: the electron probe microanalysis it relies on cannot fully represent the prevalent compositional zoning and heterogeneity within minerals, resulting in unavoidable statistical errors; although electron probe surface scanning technology can qualitatively display compositional distribution, traditional images cannot be directly interpreted quantitatively, and compositional differences between minerals are prone to interference, causing subtle zoning information to be obscured or ignored. Furthermore, thermodynamic simulation software is complex to operate, and the quality and reliability of its results are highly dependent on the operator's professional knowledge and experience, making it difficult to standardize the process and objectify the results.
[0005] What's even more challenging is that both of these traditional technical approaches share a common core flaw: the key steps of mineral chemical composition analysis, whole-rock composition acquisition, temperature and pressure calculation, and geochronological determination are usually separated and conducted independently. This fragmentation of the data chain not only increases the complexity of the work but also causes information distortion and accuracy loss during data transmission and integration, making it difficult for the final PTT trajectory to truly and continuously reflect the evolutionary history of the rock.
[0006] Therefore, how to design a metamorphic rock PTt trajectory reconstruction method based on multi-source data fusion that can integrate multi-source data, has a high degree of automation, minimizes human intervention and experience dependence, and achieves accurate and efficient reconstruction of metamorphic rock PTt trajectories is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0007] In view of this, the present invention provides a method for reconstructing the Pt trajectory of metamorphic rocks based on multi-source data fusion, aiming to solve the key technical problems existing in the current method for reconstructing the Pt trajectory of metamorphic rocks, such as strong subjectivity, cumbersome process, data fragmentation in different technical links, large error and poor repeatability caused by reliance on human experience, so as to obtain more accurate and reliable information on the metamorphic evolution history of rocks.

A continuous functional relationship of temperature-pressure-time is established through an interpolation algorithm, and the entire path evolution process of rock metamorphism is reconstructed in a three-dimensional coordinate system.
[0046] Secondly, the present invention provides a metamorphic rock PTt trajectory reconstruction system based on multi-source data fusion, comprising:
[0047] Data acquisition and correction module: used to acquire electron probe microanalytical data and internal standard data of metamorphic rock samples, and to perform multi-level data correction;
[0048] The identification and quantitative interpretation module is used to identify mineral phases and quantitatively interpret chemical components in the corrected micro-area map data, generating mineral classification maps, elemental concentration distribution maps, and whole-rock major component datasets.

[0063] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0064] Example 1;
[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for reconstructing the PTT trajectory of metamorphic rocks based on multi-source data fusion, including the following steps:
[0066] S1. Obtain electron probe microanalysis data and internal standard data of metamorphic rock samples, and perform multi-level data correction;
[0067] S2. Mineral phase identification and quantitative interpretation of chemical composition are performed on the corrected micro-area map data to generate mineral classification map, element concentration distribution map and whole rock major component dataset;
[0068] S3. Based on the whole-rock major component dataset and mineral classification map, perform thermodynamic phase equilibrium simulation to generate PT profile; and based on the element concentration distribution map and multiphase equilibrium constraints, extract the PT trajectory from the PT profile.
[0069] S4. Perform micro-area in-situ geochronological analysis on the selected minerals in the mineral classification map to obtain geochronological data;
[0070] S5. Couple the PT trajectory with the geochronological data in time and space to construct a three-dimensional PT trajectory model of the metamorphic rock and output a visual reconstruction report.
[0071] This method effectively overcomes the shortcomings of traditional methods, such as strong subjectivity, fragmented process, and significant error propagation, by integrating electron probe microanalysis, deep learning-based intelligent mineral identification, thermodynamic phase equilibrium simulation, and micro-area in-situ geochronology. It achieves quantitative, accurate, and three-dimensional dynamic reconstruction of the PTT trajectory of metamorphic rocks from microscopic mineral composition to macroscopic tectonic evolution history.
[0072] The following provides a further detailed explanation of each step in the above method;
[0073] In this embodiment, S1, electron probe microanalysis data and internal standard data of metamorphic rock samples are acquired, and multi-level data correction is performed; including:
[0074] Multi-element X-ray intensity spectra and BSE or SEI images for mineral phase identification and localization are acquired simultaneously using an electron probe microanalysis system. Specifically, the acquisition of multi-element X-ray intensity spectra must ensure sufficient statistical counts for each element, including major elements such as manganese (Mn), sodium (Na), calcium (Ca), potassium (K), iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), and titanium (Ti). The peak counts of the major elements must be no less than 10. 4 To reduce statistical errors; BSE or SEI images are used to identify major minerals such as garnet, sillimanite, biotite, muscovite, plagioclase, potassium feldspar, and quartz. They should maintain a strict spatial correspondence with the X-ray spectrum and have a consistent pixel resolution, usually above 1024×1024, to ensure the accuracy of subsequent registration and analysis.
[0075] High-precision single-point analysis was performed on 10-20 representative sites in each mineral phase. After ZAF correction, the oxide weight percentage data was exported as internal standard data. The ZAF correction was a combination of atomic number correction, absorption correction and fluorescence correction. The selection of internal standards should cover all major mineral phases and compositional variation ranges. For example, in garnet, points should be systematically selected from the core to the edge to establish a reliable intensity-concentration conversion relationship.
[0076] Based on the internal standard data, the multi-element X-ray intensity map is sequentially corrected by dead time, topography, time drift, mixed pixel, and standard position to obtain the corrected micro-area map data.
[0077] The dead time correction uses the following formula:
[0078]
[0079] Among them, I i This represents the measurement count rate of element i. τ represents the count rate after correction for element i, and τ represents the detector dead time.
[0080] Specifically, in dead time correction, the detector dead time τ needs to be calibrated in advance using standard samples, typically 100–200 ns. After calibration, it can effectively eliminate signal omissions at high count rates. Topographic correction uses surface morphology data retrieved from BSE images to perform cosine correction on the X-ray emission angle, which is especially crucial for inclined surfaces or rough areas. Time drift correction is for long-term testing, requiring the insertion of standard samples every 4–6 hours to monitor intensity changes, and correction is performed using linear or quadratic function fitting to ensure data temporal stability. Mixed pixel correction uses image morphology methods to identify mixed regions at phase boundaries and replaces them with interpolated neighboring pure-phase pixels to ensure the purity of compositional data. Standard sample position correction calculates sub-pixel-level offset vectors by cross-correlating the coordinates of standard sample points with the positions of spectral pixels and applies spatial transformation to eliminate systematic errors caused by mechanical displacement.
[0081] like Figure 2 As shown, mineral facies identification and quantitative interpretation of chemical composition are performed on the corrected micro-area spectral data to generate mineral classification maps, elemental concentration distribution maps, and whole-rock major component datasets; including:
[0082] S21. A multi-scale convolutional neural network based on an attention mechanism is used to identify mineral phases in the corrected micro-area map data, generating a mineral classification map that reflects the distribution of each mineral phase.
[0083] S22. Based on internal standard sample data, the X-ray intensity in the micro-area spectrum is quantitatively converted into oxide concentration using an empirical correction algorithm to generate an elemental concentration distribution map.
[0084] S23. Integrate the mineral classification map and element concentration distribution map, and calculate and output the whole rock principal component dataset at the micro-area scale after weighted averaging and density correction.
[0085] Furthermore, S21 includes: the encoder extracts features from the input corrected micro-area map data through multi-level convolutional layers, and outputs a feature map containing mineral features at different scales; the feature map is processed by a channel and spatial attention module, and a weighted feature map is generated by calculating channel and spatial weights to highlight key mineral regions; the decoder upsamples and fuses the weighted feature map through a transposed convolutional layer, and outputs a mineral category probability map with the same size as the input map; combined with the classification output layer, a pixel-by-pixel argmax operation is performed on the mineral category probability map to generate a mineral classification map;
[0086] This section employs an encoder-decoder network based on an attention mechanism. Through multi-scale feature extraction and channel and spatial attention weighting, it enhances the identification capability of key mineral regions. After upsampling and feature fusion, it generates pixel-level classification results and finally outputs a high-precision mineral classification map.
[0087] Furthermore, the empirical α-factor correction algorithm in S22 is expressed as:
[0088]
[0089] Among them, C i k represents the weight percentage concentration of the oxide of element i. i I represents the correction factor. i,sample I is represented by the characteristic X-ray intensity of element i in the sample. i,standard The characteristic X-ray intensity of element i in the standard sample is represented by k; the empirical α-factor correction coefficient k is used at this location. i The coefficient of determination R is obtained by linear regression of internal standard data. 2 Typically, the value needs to be greater than 0.99 to ensure the linear reliability of the intensity-concentration conversion; for overlapping peaks or interfering elements, peak stripping algorithms or multivariate correction models should be used for deconvolution.
[0090] Furthermore, S23 includes:
[0091] The mineral classification map and the elemental concentration distribution map are spatially registered at the pixel level to establish the correspondence between mineral phase categories and chemical compositions. The pixel-level spatial registration adopts mutual information maximization or feature point matching algorithm to ensure that the mineral phase boundaries and composition gradients are strictly aligned.
[0092] Based on the mineral classification map, the percentage of area of each mineral phase within the micro-region is calculated;
[0093] The chemical composition data of all pixels in each mineral phase region are extracted from the element concentration distribution map, and the average value is calculated as the representative chemical composition of the mineral phase.
[0094] The principal components of the whole rock are calculated using an area-weighted average algorithm, and the results are then volume-corrected by combining the density values of each mineral phase, resulting in a micro-scale dataset of the principal components of the whole rock.
[0095] The area-weighted average algorithm is expressed as follows:
[0096]
[0097] in, This represents the calculated concentration of the p-th oxide in the whole rock. Let A be the average concentration of the p-th oxide in the q-th mineral phase. q This represents the area percentage of the q-th mineral phase, and n represents the total number of mineral phases.
[0098] The volume correction is expressed as:
[0099]
[0100] in, This represents the concentration of the p-th oxide in the whole rock after volume correction, and is the density of the q-th mineral phase.
[0101] This step, through the deep integration of computer vision and chemometrics methods, completes the entire process from intelligently identifying mineral phases and accurately quantifying chemical composition from calibrated micro-area spectral data to efficiently calculating the whole-rock composition. This process not only achieves automated and high-precision segmentation of mineral boundaries, but also obtains reliable compositional information with spatial resolution down to the micrometer level through multi-source data registration and fusion, providing a complete input data foundation for subsequent thermodynamic simulations and improving the objectivity and repeatability of the entire process.
[0102] like Figure 3 As shown, based on the whole-rock major component dataset and mineral classification map, thermodynamic phase equilibrium simulation is performed to generate a PT (potentially terminating) profile; and based on the elemental concentration distribution map and multiphase equilibrium constraints, the PT trajectory is extracted from the PT profile; including:
[0103] S31. Based on the whole-rock major component dataset, select a thermodynamic database and define a solid solution model, and set the pressure-temperature simulation range and step size; the thermodynamic database should be selected according to the rock type, and the solid solution model should cover key minerals;
[0104] Specifically, based on the whole-rock major composition dataset, the MnNCKFMASHTO system database was selected, and specific solid solution models of minerals such as garnet, melt, muscovite, staurolite, biotite, cordierite, ilmenite, and feldspar were activated to construct a thermodynamic system that closely approximates real geological conditions. Subsequently, the simulation ranges for system pressure (P) and temperature (T) were set to 4-15 kbar and 650-900℃, respectively.
[0105] S32. The Gibbs free energy minimization algorithm is used to initially solve for the stable mineral assemblage at each PT point through linear programming. Then, a nonlinear iterative optimization algorithm is used to refine the phase composition and proportion, generating the PT view profile. Here, Gibbs free energy minimization uses linear programming to find the initial solution, and nonlinear optimization uses Newton's iteration or simulated annealing algorithm to refine the phase composition. The initial temperature for simulated annealing is set to 1000K, the cooling rate is 0.95, and the number of iterations is >10. 4 To ensure convergence to the global optimum;
[0106] S33. Based on the mineral composition zonation structure or composition gradient information provided by the element concentration distribution map, and combined with the multiphase equilibrium reaction relationship, track the stability domain boundary changes of a specific mineral assemblage in the PT view profile and extract the metamorphic PT trajectory.
[0107] like Figure 4 As shown, the stable domain of the peak mineral assemblage Grt (garnet)-Ky (kyanite)-Bt (biotite)-Kfs (potassium feldspar)-Pl (plagioclase)-Melt (melt)-Ilm (ilmenite)-Qz (quartz) corresponds to a high-pressure, high-temperature environment. This stability is further demonstrated by precisely tracing the grossular (X) rings within the garnet composition. Grs ) and pyrope (X) Prp The intersection of contour lines, combined with X in biotite Mg The contour lines and the variation trends of anorthosite (An) and sodium feldspar (Ab) components in plagioclase can jointly define the peak metamorphic conditions as being around 11 kbar and 810 °C, reflecting that the metamorphic rock sample had undergone metamorphic processes on a middle and lower crustal scale.
[0108] As temperature and pressure decrease, the mineral assemblage transforms into Grt (garnet)-Sill (sillimanite)-Bt (biotite)-Kfs (potassium feldspar)-Pl (plagioclase)-Melt (melt)-Ilm (ilmenite)-Qz (quartz), indicating the beginning of the retrograde metamorphic stage, showing garnet spessartine (X) Sps The contour lines extend towards the low-pressure direction, combined with biotite XMg The decrease in the value and the reduction in An component in plagioclase, these changes in composition gradients together constrain the PT conditions of approximately 7.8 kbar and 760 °C during the retrograde metamorphic stage; this trajectory reveals that the metamorphic rock sample underwent a near-isothermal decompression retrograde metamorphic process after the peak period, reflecting the dynamic background of tectonic uplift and crustal exhumation.
[0109] In this step, a PT profile of the study area was constructed using the Gibbs free energy minimization algorithm and multiphase equilibrium constraints. Furthermore, by combining spatial variation information such as mineral composition zoning, a continuous PT trajectory reflecting the metamorphic evolution history was extracted. This achieved a leap from static composition data to dynamic temperature and pressure condition inversion, providing a reliable model basis for the thermodynamic reconstruction of rock metamorphic processes.
[0110] like Figure 5 As shown, micro-area in-situ geochronological analysis was performed on selected minerals in the mineral classification map to obtain geochronological data; including:
[0111] S41. Identify zircon and monazite dating mineral regions in the mineral classification map; the identification of dating minerals should be combined with the mineral classification map and BSE / CL image, and regions without cracks and inclusions are preferred.
[0112] S42. Micro-area in-situ ablation is performed using a laser ablation system with a spot diameter of 10-30 μm, and instrument drift is corrected based on a combination of external and internal standards. Laser ablation requires optimization of energy density and repetition frequency; the internal standard is optional. 43 Ca or 49 For Ti, the external standard adopts international standards, such as 91500, GJ-1, and a standard sample is inserted for calibration every 10 points.
[0113] S43. Collect U, Th, and Pb isotope signals, calculate U-Pb age using the isotope dilution algorithm, and obtain chronological data. Isotope data need to be corrected for ordinary lead and interference subtraction. Age calculation uses Isoplot or a similar algorithm. The weighted average age needs to be reported with MSWD and 95% confidence interval.
[0114] In this step, the dating mineral regions such as zircon and monazite are accurately located by integrating mineral classification maps and BSE / CL images. Micro-area in-situ sampling is performed using a laser ablation system with optimized parameters, and internal and external standard corrections are combined to eliminate instrument drift and signal interference. Finally, U-Pb age is calculated by isotope dilution method, and after ordinary lead correction, interference subtraction and statistical verification, high-precision and high-reliability geochronological data are obtained, providing absolute time constraints for PTt trajectories.
[0115] In this embodiment, S5, the PT trajectory is spatiotemporally coupled with geochronological data to construct a three-dimensional PT trajectory model of metamorphic rocks and output a visual reconstruction report.
[0116] The construction of the PTt three-dimensional trajectory model of metamorphic rocks includes: providing an absolute time scale for the PT trajectory based on the geochronological data, establishing a continuous functional relationship of temperature-pressure-time through an interpolation algorithm, and reconstructing the entire path evolution process of rock metamorphism in a three-dimensional coordinate system.
[0117] Furthermore, a visual reconstruction report is output; the report integrates and displays PT view profile, PTt three-dimensional trajectory curve, mineral composition distribution heat map and age data in the form of charts, and includes textual explanations of key metamorphic stages, temperature and pressure conditions and duration.
[0118] This embodiment provides a method for reconstructing the PTt trajectory of metamorphic rocks based on multi-source data fusion. It effectively integrates multi-source heterogeneous data and multidisciplinary strategies, breaks through the technical bottlenecks in traditional reconstruction, and achieves high-precision quantitative characterization of the PTt trajectory of metamorphism. Its reconstruction results show significant advantages in the spatiotemporal continuity of temperature and pressure paths and the analysis of dynamic processes, providing a reliable data model and empirical basis for deepening the study of the coupling relationship between metamorphism and tectonic evolution.
