An Automated Quantitative Methodology for Computing Gravel Parameters in Imaging Logging Leveraging Deep Learning: A Case Analysis of the Baikouquan Formation within the Mahu Sag

Gravels are widely distributed in the Baikouquan formation in the Mabei area of the Junggar Basin. However, conventional logging methods cannot quantitatively characterize gravel development, which limits the identification of lithology, structure, and sedimentary facies in this region. This study proposes a new method for automatically identifying gravels from electric imaging images and calculating gravel parameters utilizing the salient object detection (SOD) network. Firstly, a SOD network model (U2-Net) was constructed and trained using electric imaging data from the Baikouquan formation at the Mahu Sag. The blank strips in the images were filled using the U-Net convolutional neural network model. Sample sets were then prepared, and the gravel areas were labeled in the electric imaging images with the Labelme software in combination with image segmentation and human–machine interaction. These sample sets were used to train the network model, enabling the automatic recognition of gravel areas and the segmentation of adhesive gravel regions in the electric imaging images. Based on the segmented gravel results, quantitative evaluation parameters such as particle size and gravel quantity were accurately calculated. The method’s validity was confirmed through validation sets and actual data. This approach enhances adhesive area segmentation’s accuracy and processing speed while effectively reducing human error. The trained network model demonstrated an average absolute error of 0.0048 on test sets with a recognition accuracy of 83.7%. This method provides algorithmic support for the refined evaluation of glutenite reservoir logging.

Road Network Mapping from Multispectral Satellite Imagery: Leveraging Deep Learning and Spectral Bands

Abstract. Updating road networks in rapidly changing urban landscapes is an important but difficult task, often challenged by the complexity and errors of manual mapping processes. Traditional methods that primarily use RGB satellite imagery struggle with obstacles in the environment and varying road structures, leading to limitations in global data processing. This paper presents an innovative approach that utilizes deep learning and multispectral satellite imagery to improve road network extraction and mapping. By exploring U-Net models with DenseNet backbones and integrating different spectral bands we apply semantic segmentation and extensive post-processing techniques to create georeferenced road networks. We trained two identical models to evaluate the impact of using images created from specially selected multispectral bands rather than conventional RGB images. Our experiments demonstrate the positive impact of using multispectral bands, by improving the results of the metrics Intersection over Union (IoU) by 6.5%, F1 by 5.4%, and the newly proposed relative graph edit distance (relGED) and topology metrics by 2.2% and 2.6% respectively.

Oil palm cultivation thrives as a prominent agricultural endeavor within the southern region of Thailand, where the country ranks third globally in production, following Malaysia and Indonesia. The assessment of oil palm bunch ripeness serves various purposes, notably in determining purchasing prices, pre-harvest evaluations, and evaluating the impacts of disasters or low market prices. Presently, two predominant methods are employed for this assessment, namely human evaluation, and machine learning for ripeness classification. Human assessment, while boasting high accuracy, necessitates the involvement of farmers or experts, resulting in prolonged processing times, especially when dealing with extensive datasets or dispersed fields. Conversely, machine learning, although capable of accurately classifying harvested oil palm bunches, faces limitations concerning its inability to process images of oil palm bunches on trees and the absence of a platform for on-tree ripeness classification. Considering these challenges, this study introduces the development of a classification platform leveraging machine learning (deep learning) in conjunction with geospatial analysis and visualization to ascertain the ripeness of oil palm bunches while they are still on the tree. The research outcomes demonstrate that oil palm bunch ripeness can be accurately and efficiently classified using a mobile device, achieving an impressive accuracy rate of 99.89% with a training dataset comprising 8779 images and a validation accuracy of 96.12% with 1160 images. Furthermore, the proposed platform facilitates the management and processing of spatial data by comparing coordinates derived from images with oil palm plantation data obtained through crowdsourcing and the analysis of cloud or satellite images of oil palm plantations. This comprehensive platform not only provides a robust model for ripeness assessment but also offers potential applications in government management contexts, particularly in scenarios necessitating real-time information on harvesting status and oil palm plantation conditions.

Deep-learning framework for optimal selection of soil sampling sites

Soil sampling is one of the most fundamental agricultural processes. The selection of soil sampling locations within a field plays a crucial role in soil-health analysis. The current soil-sampling techniques produce random samples across a field, which are not representative of the field conditions. This work leverages the recent advancements of deep learning in image processing for finding optimal locations that present the important characteristics of a field. The data for training are collected at different fields in local farms with five features: aspect, flow accumulation, slope, NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index), and yield. The soil sampling dataset is challenging because of the unbalance between the number of pixels that represent soil-sampling spots and the number of pixels that represent the background area. In this work, we approach the problem with two methods, the first approach involves utilizing a state-of-the-art model with the convolutional neural network (CNN) backbone, while the second is to innovate a deep-learning design grounded in the concepts of transformer and self-attention. Our framework is constructed with an encoder–decoder architecture with the self-attention mechanism as the backbone. In the encoder, the self-attention mechanism is the key feature extractor, which produces feature maps. In the decoder, we introduce atrous convolution networks to concatenate, fuse the extracted features, and then export the optimal locations for soil sampling. Currently, the model has achieved impressive results on the testing dataset, with a mean accuracy of 99.52%, a mean Intersection over Union (IoU) of 57.35%, and a mean Dice Coefficient of 71.47%, while the performance metrics of the state-of-the-art CNN-based model are 66.08%, 3.85%, and 1.98%, respectively. This indicates that our proposed model outperforms the CNN-based method on the soil-sampling dataset. To the best of our knowledge, our work is the first to provide a soil-sampling dataset with multiple attributes and leverage deep learning techniques to enable the automatic selection of soil-sampling sites. This work lays a foundation for novel applications of data science and machine-learning technologies to solve other emerging agricultural problems.
