Information Technology for the Recognition of Semi-Precious Minerals

The article is devoted to solving the problem of recognizing semiprecious minerals that are used in jewelry production. The intensive development of production leads to a reduction in the reserves of natural resources, including precious minerals. Therefore, the task of saving the use of minerals is urgent. In this article, to solve this problem, a new information method is proposed for recognizing and comparing the volumes of minerals in order to sort them. Improving the accuracy of sorting minerals is necessary to minimize the loss of valuable raw materials in the production of jewelry. According to the proposed technology, the total volume of the mineral that is supplied for sorting is determined, and then this gross volume is compared with one or several net volumes of jewelry produced. The proposed technical solutions allow increasing the accuracy of sorting minerals and reducing the amount of waste during further mechanical processing of semiprecious minerals. Ultimately, the proposed method helps to increase the economic efficiency of jewelry production and, as a result, contributes to the rational use of natural resources.
