Iron ore mining shapes the world. The raw ferrous deposits are extracted and transformed into structural steel, machine housings, case hardened gears and countless other important products. Without iron alloys, contemporary buildings couldn't rise towards the sky, nor could heavy-duty equipment support the massive loads that iron …

In the iron ore sintering process, it is desirable to maximize the productivity and quality of sinter while minimizing the fuel consumption for any given raw material (iron ore, flux and solid fuel) quality. However, given the complexity of the sintering process and the large number of manipulated variables, it is not practical for operators to identify …

Iron ore isolation, feature extraction, and machine learning. Once the particles are binary segmented, the particle identification and isolation steps are performed, as depicted in Fig. 6. A colourwash algorithm is used to approximately isolate the particles.
