A New Method of Identifying Graphite Based on Neural Network

The unique physical properties of graphite enable it to be applied in various fields of the national economy and people's livelihood, which has very important industrial value. Many countries have listed graphite as a key mineral. To promote the transformation of the mining industry to informatization and intelligence, the realization of the intelligent recognition of graphite is particularly critical. Aiming at the problems of long time and low efficiency in manually identifying graphite, an improved AlexNet convolution neural network is proposed for graphite image recognition. First, we perform image preprocessing on the data set by means of random cropping, horizontal flipping according to probability, and normalization processing to achieve the purpose of data enhancement. Then we use the activation function ReLU6 to compress the dynamic range to make the algorithm more robust, using the batch standardization algorithm for normalization to speed up the convergence speed, modifying the size of the convolution kernel to enhance the generalization ability, and adding dropout regularization to the fully connected layer to further prevent overfitting. Finally, in the simulation experiment, compared with the existing method, the given method reduces the loss value and improves the average accuracy of identifying graphite.
