Abstract
A system and method of automated classification of rock types includes: partitioning, by a processing device, an image into partitions; extracting, by the processing device, sub-images from each of the partitions; first-level classifying, by an automated classifier, the sub-images into corresponding first classes; and second-level classifying, by the processing device, the partitions into corresponding second classes by, for each partition of the partitions, selecting a most numerous one of the corresponding first classes of the sub-images extracted from the partition. A method of displaying automated classification results on a display device is provided. The method includes: receiving, by a processing device, an image partitioned into partitions and classified into corresponding classes; and manipulating, by the processing device, the display device to display the image together with visual identification of the partitions and their corresponding classes. The method may include generating a depth-aligned log file of the classifications.
