Segmentation and analysis of individual pores and grains of mudrocks from scanning electron microscope images is non-trivial because of noise, imaging artifacts, variation in pixel grayscale values across images, and overlaps in grayscale values among different physical features such as silt grains, clay grains, and pores in an image, which make their identification difficult. Moreover, because grains and pores often have overlapping grayscale values, direct application of threshold-based segmentation techniques is not sufficient. Recent advances in the field of computer vision have made it easier and faster to segment images and identify multiple occurrences of such features in an image, provided that ground-truth data for training the algorithm is available. Here, we propose a deep learning SEM image segmentation model, MudrockNet based on Googles DeepLab-v3+ architecture implemented with the TensorFlow library. The ground-truth data was obtained from an image-processing workflow applied to scanning electron microscope images of uncemented muds from the Kumano Basin offshore Japan at depths < 1.1 km. The trained deep learning model obtained a pixel-accuracy about 90%, and predictions for the test data obtained a mean intersection over union (IoU) of 0.6591 for silt grains and 0.6642 for pores. We also compared our model with the random forest classifier using trainable Weka segmentation in ImageJ, and it was observed that MudrockNet gave better predictions for both silt grains and pores. The size, concentration, and spatial arrangement of the silt and clay grains can affect the petrophysical properties of a mudrock, and an automated method to accurately identify the different grains and pores in mudrocks can help improve reservoir and seal characterization for petroleum exploration and anthropogenic waste sequestration.
With the rapid development of Remote Sensing acquisition techniques, there is a need to scale and improve processing tools to cope with the observed increase of both data volume and richness. Among popular techniques in remote sensing, Deep Learning
We propose a new method for semantic instance segmentation, by first computing how likely two pixels are to belong to the same object, and then by grouping similar pixels together. Our similarity metric is based on a deep, fully convolutional embeddi
