Iron Ore Image Data

The dataset consists of Reflected Light Microscopic (RLM) Images of Iron Ores of four different grades. The zipped folder contains four sub folders, each representing and containing the raw images of a particular grade of iron ore. The grades of ores and the nomenclature used for naming the folders are - Blue Dust Ore (BDO), Hard Laminated Ore (HLO), Lateritic Ore (LO) and Soft Laminated Ore (SLO). The images are in TIF format of dimension 2048X1536. The dataset has been created for automating the task of characterization of iron ores using deep learning algorithms. The dataset can also be used for mineral composition analysis.
