Abstract

Technical Field

[0002] This AI-based rapid mineral identification system using infrared spectroscopy acquires spectral data from mineral samples using an infrared spectrometer and preprocesses it, such as through noise reduction and smoothing, to improve data quality. Next, the system extracts key features related to mineral characteristics from the spectral data, typically including peak positions and absorption intensities. Using machine learning or deep learning algorithms, such as support vector machines or convolutional neural networks, the system inputs these features into a trained model and compares it against a known mineral spectral library, thereby achieving automatic mineral classification and identification. Finally, the identification results are displayed to the user through a visual interface or other feedback methods, providing detailed information about the mineral, such as its chemical composition or potential uses.

The system is highly dependent on the quality of the spectral data; any errors during the acquisition process or environmental interference can lead to inaccurate identification results. AI models often rely on a large number of labeled samples during training; if the training dataset is insufficient, especially for rare minerals, the model's identification ability may be limited, making it unable to handle unseen mineral species or complex samples.
