The average grade of iron ore is low in China, and it is significant for the effective utilization of iron ore to obtain grades. In the paper, the high-precision model was constructed based on the spectrum of hematite and the multiple hidden layers extreme learning machine with random values and dense connection, which took the output of all previous layers as the input of each hidden layer. It has achieved high precision during the detection of the total iron content for hematite, which meets the requirements for the construction and development of new green and intelligent mines.

Iron ore is an important raw material for the steel industry, so it is of great economic significance to determine the grade of the iron ore quickly and accurately. And the TFe content is the main indicator that determines the grade of the iron ore and whether the iron ore can be smelted directly. Unlike manual methods and methods for chemical analysis, the paper uses the selection of band for the near-infrared spectrum based on the pruning method and the two-hidden-layer extreme learning machine based on LU decomposition and seagull optimization algorithm (LU-TELM-SOA) to identify the TFe content. First of all, the paper proposes the selection of band based on the pruning method to retain the sensitive band of the near-infrared spectrum. Aiming at the problems of poor stability and low accuracy of a single LU-TELM (the two-hidden-layer extreme learning machine based on LU decomposition) model, the paper proposes LU-TELM-SOA. The experimental results show that LU-TELM-SOA has the advantages of high accuracy and strong stability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In view of the many shortcomings of traditional copper ore detection methods, this paper proposes a new method for copper ore content detection, which is to detect copper ore content through spectral information. And we propose an error compensation extreme learning machine model. Using the error compensation extreme learning machine and the spectral information of the copper ore can quickly and accurately identify the copper content in the copper ore. Finally, the satellite remote sensing data were simulated, and the copper content distribution in the mining area was obtained. This provides guidance for future mining, reclamation and ore prospecting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Soil nutrient is one of the most important properties for improving farmland quality and product. Imaging spectrometry has the potential for rapid acquisition and real-time monitoring of soil characteristics. This study aims to explore the preprocessing and modeling methods of hyperspectral images obtained from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform for estimating the soil organic matter (SOM) and soil total nitrogen (STN) in farmland. The results showed that: (1) Multiplicative Scattering Correction (MSC) performed better in reducing image scattering noise than Standard Normal Variate (SNV) transformation or spectral derivatives, and it yielded a result with higher correlation and lower signal-to-noise ratio; (2) The proposed feature selection method combining Successive Projections Algorithm (SPA) and Competitive Adaptive Reweighted Sampling algorithm (CARS), could provide selective preference for hyperspectral bands. Exploiting this method, 24 and 22 feature bands were selected for SOM and STN estimation, respectively; (3) The particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm was employed to obtain optimized input weights and bias values of the extreme learning machine (ELM) model for more accurate prediction of SOM and STN. The improved PSO-ELM model based on the selected preference bands achieved higher prediction accuracy (R2 of 0.73 and RPD of 1.91 for SOM, R2 of 0.63, and RPD of 1.53 for STN) than support vector machine (SVM), partial least squares regression (PLSR), and the ELM model. This study provides an important guideline for monitoring soil nutrient for precision agriculture with imaging spectrometry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Copper is an important national resource, which is widely used in various sectors of the national economy. The traditional detection of copper content in copper ore has the disadvantages of being time-consuming and high cost. Due to the many drawbacks of traditional detection methods, this paper proposes a new method for detecting copper content in copper ore, that is, through the spectral information of copper ore content detection method. First of all, we use chemical methods to analyze the copper content in a batch of copper ores, and accurately obtain the copper content in those ores. Then we do spectrometric tests on this batch of copper ore, and get accurate spectral data of copper ore. Based on the data obtained, we propose a new two hidden layer extreme learning machine algorithm with variable hidden layer nodes and use the regularization standard to constrain the extreme learning machine. Finally, the prediction model of copper content in copper ore is established by using the algorithm. Experiments show that this method of detecting copper ore content using spectral information is completely feasible, and the algorithm proposed in this paper can detect the copper content in copper ores faster and more accurately.

[Display omitted] • A method for rapid coal proximate analysis is proposed. • The method combines spectroscopy with deep learning. • A deep learning model named DR_TELM is proposed, which includes dilated convolution, multi-level residual connection and TELM. • The method proposed achieves high precision and fast speed. Proximate analysis of coal is of profound significance for understanding coal quality and promoting rational utilization of coal resources. Traditional coal proximate analysis mainly uses chemical analysis methods, which have the disadvantages of slow speed and high cost. This paper proposed an approach combining reflectance spectroscopy with deep learning (DL) for rapid proximate analysis of coal. First, 80 sets of coal spectral data are enhanced by data augmentation, outlier detection, and dimensional transformation to improve the number and quality of samples. Then, an analytical model combining dilated convolution, multi-level residual connection, and a two-hidden-layer extreme learning machine (TELM), named DR_TELM, was proposed. The model extracted effective features from coal spectral data by a convolutional neural network (CNN) and utilized TELM as a regressor to achieve feature identification and content prediction. The experimental results showed that DR_TELM achieved coefficients of determination (R2) of 0.981, 0.989, 0.990, 0.985, 0.989 and root mean square errors (RMSE) of 0.533, 1.833, 1.111, 1.808, 0.723 for the content prediction of moisture, ash, volatile matter, fixed carbon and higher heating value (HHV), respectively. And while ensuring high accuracy, the test time is only 0.034 s. It is fully demonstrated that DR_TELM can rapidly and accurately analyze coal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
