Coal Cleat/Fracture Segmentation Using Convolutional Neural Networks ...
Cleats/fractures play a vital role in gas extraction from coal bed methane reservoirs. As such, fractures are identified in microcomputed tomography images by segmentation in detailed fracture characterization studies. Conventional segmentation methods include thresholdingbased, region growing, and hybrid methods. In digital images, these methods are unable to differentiate fractures from ...
