Proof-of-concept of quick mineralogy through hyperespectral analysis. Geology Superintendent, El Teniente Division
Description
This project consisted of a series of concept tests carried out on samples of head feed ore from the metallurgical processes of CODELCO’s El Teniente Division. These tests consisted of the training of Stochastic Imaging Spectroscopy models from hyperspectral images taken on mineral samples and the standardized characterization of these samples in the laboratory. Validation rounds of “Leave One Out” type were carried out, which allowed to evaluate the prediction error of the models with samples relevant to the company. This project is a milestone in the development and validation of hyperspectral estimation technology developed at ALGES.
