Mineral ID AI

Visual mineral identification

Overview

Image-based mineral identification tool, spun out of instrumentation and materials-characterization work in the lab.

Architecture

• Image-based classification pipeline for visual mineral identification
• Spun out of lab instrumentation and materials-characterization work
• A full internal spec (MINERAL_ID_AI_SPEC.md) already exists — this page is the public summary and should be kept in sync with it, not treated as the source of truth

Milestones

1. 01Bring this public summary in line with the internal spec doc
2. 02Build the initial classifier on a labeled mineral image set
3. 03Wire into the Tardigrade Innovation demo console alongside Tardigrade Shield

Open questions

• Which mineral classes are in scope for v1
• Data source and labeling strategy for training images
