The invention provides a tailing
particle classification method based on multi-dimensional morphological feature compression and clustering, and belongs to the technical field of
geotechnical engineering,
mineral processing and
particle classification, and the method comprises the following steps: S1-S6, obtaining an
STL file database of tailing particles; s7, calculating and extracting morphological parameters to form an original parameter
data set; s8-S10: obtaining a three-dimensional morphological parameter set which retains the original morphological feature information; s11-S12, determining an optimal clustering number by adopting an
elbow rule, a contour coefficient and Gap statistics, and performing particle morphology clustering grouping on the three-dimensional morphology parameters by adopting a K-means
algorithm; and S13, carrying out stacking test
simulation on the clustered particle categories by using a
discrete element method, analyzing the stacking density and the average
coordination number of different categories of particles, and verifying the physical significance of a
classification result. The tailing
particle classification method can systematically and efficiently integrate particle multi-dimensional form information, can directly associate the information with macroscopic physical and mechanical properties, and is data-driven, clear in mechanism and explainable in result.
