In studying vast, hard-to-access areas, geologist often have to interpret airborne geophysical data.

Key Points: 
  • In studying vast, hard-to-access areas, geologist often have to interpret airborne geophysical data.
  • Computer tools are invaluable for analyzing airborne images of these sites and generating a useful preliminary interpretation for geologists.
  • This new approach to artificial intelligence aims to train parallel neural networks, each processing one type of variable, such as aeromagnetic or electromagnetic data.
  • Professor Gloaguen's team is working with experts in artificial intelligence applied to mining for this network development project, the first phase of which is already underway.
