Lunch-and-learn session - Differentiation of fractures and rock mass deformation in clay rocks by Machine Learning
Accurate and efficient identification of various discontinuities in clay rocks is crucial for monitoring and understanding rock mass behavior. In this webinar, we will present a state-of-the-art semantic segmentation approach for detecting and distinguishing fractures in borehole optical images using deep learning. The presentation will cover the training process of the model, key methodological insights, and practical applications. This approach offers a transformative tool for geoscientists and engineers working in rock mass analysis.
