Javier Castaneda and Brianne Valdes, Deswik, North America, evaluate the latest developments in strategic mine planning and offer a comparison between new tools and traditional pit optimisation ...

Graph-based image segmentation frames an image as a weighted graph in which pixels or regions correspond to nodes, and edges encode similarity or affinity between neighbouring elements. By formulating ...

The gPit is a tool for open-pit mining otimisation. The main features of the gPit are: EPV and Cut-Off calculations Ultimate Pit Limit by using (Hochbaum, 2008 - pseudoflow algorithm) Revenue Factor ...

Abstract: Minimum cut/maximum flow (min-cut/max-flow) algorithms solve a variety of problems in computer vision and thus significant effort has been put into developing fast min-cut/max-flow ...

Combinatorial optimization is of general interest for both theoretical study and real-world applications. Fast-developing quantum algorithms provide a different perspective on solving combinatorial ...
