Processing of rock core microtomography images: Using seven different machine learning algorithms
2016
The abilities of machine learning algorithms to process X-ray microtomographic rock images were determined. The study focused on the use of unsupervised, supervised, and ensemble clustering techniques, to segment X-ray computer microtomography rock images and to estimate the pore spaces and pore size diameters in the rocks. The unsupervised k-means technique gave the fastest processing time and the supervised least squares support vector machine technique gave the slowest processing time. Multiphase assemblages of solid phases (minerals and finely grained minerals) and the pore phase were found on visual inspection of the images. In general, the accuracy in terms of porosity values and pore…
Markov Chain and Stationary Distribution
2019
MC has been a valuable tool for analyzing the performance of complex stochastic systems since it was introduced by the Russian mathematician A. A. Markov (1856–1922) in the early 1900s. More and more system analyses have been carried out by using MC, including the analysis on CA and CF. In this chapter, we will briefly review the essential ingredients of MC that are necessary for the performance analysis presented in this book. A more comprehensive introduction of MC and its applications can be found in Nelson (2013, Probability, stochastic processes, and queueing theory: the mathematics of computer performance modeling).
