微粒子試料の自動鑑定精度向上とハイスループット化に向けた取り組み：微化石と火山灰を例として

抄録

Micron-size particles in sediment samples such as microfossils and volcanic glasses are useful stratigraphic correlation markers for geological investigations. The Geological Survey of Japan has been developing technologies to improve the accuracy of automated classification for the particles and their high throughput workflow. As examples of this initiative, an automated microfossil classification-extraction system and a virtual slide scanner are introduced and describe the advantages and future challenges of the automated classification in this paper.
