Machine Learning to Analyze Rock Microstructures

Description

Students will analyze images from optical microscopes that reveal features of materials and microstructures using machine learning techniques. These images have been collected by geologists, who use them to study the rock samples that they collect in the field and determine their properties and origins. We have a baseline system already implemented, and the goal is to improve it with new machine learning techniques, guided by the insights of our collaborating geologists.
