Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks and Infrared Thermography to Identify Coal Quality and Gangue

Owing to the enormous demand for and growing large-scale use of coal in the China, India, and USA, speculation has arisen about possible hazards to environmental quality and human health. The contents of fly ash and volatile matter in low-quality coal are extremely harmful to the environment. As a r...

description Owing to the enormous demand for and growing large-scale use of coal in the China, India, and USA, speculation has arisen about possible hazards to environmental quality and human health. The contents of fly ash and volatile matter in low-quality coal are extremely harmful to the environment. As a result, there is still much to be explored regarding known hazards and harms to the natural environment of the Earth. For the detection of high-quality coal, we propose a new method of distinguishing coal quality in terms of different “coal types” (i.e., anthracite, bituminous coal, subbituminous coal and lignite) and efficiently separating gangue and rock from the production lines of coal preparation plants (CPPs) by exploiting infrared machine vision and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for deep learning, which can make coal use less harmful to humans and nature and/or more useful for general welfare.
