Studies in the Area of Artificial Neural Networks Reported from China University of Geosciences (Rock Discontinuities Identification From 3d Point Clouds Using Artificial Neural Network)

摘要

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Network Daily News - Investigators publish new report on Artificial Neural Networks. According to news reporting originating in Hubei, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “Rock discontinuities fundamentally impact the mechanical and hydraulic behaviors of a rock mass, and thus it is a critically important task to characterize the geometrical parameters of these rock discontinuities. To measure the discontinuity orientation more accurately and efficiently, two well-known point clouds were taken as cases (a cube and a road cut), and an artificial neural network (ANN)-an machine learning algorithm-was established to identify discontinuities from point clouds through learning a small number of training samples, which had been manually selected from the raw point clouds.”
