Low-cost smartphone-based LIBS combined with deep learning image processing for accurate lithology recognition

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Jul 20;57(58):7156-7159. doi: 10.1039/d1cc01844b.

Abstract

A low-cost and multi-channel smartphone-based spectrometer was developed for LIBS. As the CMOS detector is two-dimensional, simultaneous multichannel detection was achieved by coupling a linear array of fibres for light collection. Thus, besides the atomic information, the spectral images containing the propagation and spatial distribution characters of a laser induced plasma plume could be recorded. With these additional features, accurate rock type prediction was achieved by processing the raw data directly through a deep learning model.
