To improve the accuracy and reliability of ore fragment size analysis in mining concentrators.

Main Methods:

Proposed a novel ore image segmentation model named RDU-Net (Residual DUNet).
Integrated residual connections from convolutional neural networks with the DUNet architecture.
Implemented adaptive receptive field adjustment to capture ore fragments of varying sizes and shapes.

Main Results:

RDU-Net demonstrated significantly improved segmentation accuracy compared to U-Net and DUNet.
The model effectively captured ore edges of diverse shapes and sizes.
Achieved accurate segmentation of ore images, meeting concentrator detection requirements.

Conclusions:

RDU-Net offers a robust solution for ore image segmentation, overcoming challenges posed by dust and lighting.
The model's adaptive capabilities enhance its performance in real-world mining environments.
RDU-Net provides a reliable and accurate method for ore fragment size detection, benefiting mining operations.
