Volume 2, Issue 2 , July 2011, , Pages 126-135

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2011.539

Abstract
  In this study based on image analysis, an ore grade estimation model was developed. The study was performed at a limestone mine in central Iran. The samples were collected from different parts of the mine and crushed in size from 2.58 cm down to 15 cm. The images of the samples were taken in appropriate ...  Read More
