Taking Rocks into the Cloud: Bringing Petrography into the Digital Age
In this webinar, Matthew Andrew, PhD discusses how to bring petrography – the art and science of looking at rock thin sections – into the digital era.
This allows for the digitisation of historic or teaching collections, complete with online visualisation and distribution (enabling virtual teaching) and the automated mineralogical and crystallographic quantification & analysis of resulting data through the use of integrated computer vision techniques.
This webinar will cover some key learnings, including:
-
Digitise complete petrographic information from massive sample collections at unprecedented speed
- Revolutionise quantitative petrography with machine learning on large datasets
- Collaborate without borders with a unique virtual microscopy platform
Who is the webinar aimed at?
This webinar is aimed at those who have some knowledge and interest in Geoscience
