DPI - Analytical tool for placer gold exploration
HiGrade DPI is a novel analysis tool for placer gold that relies on image processing to identify gold particles in a high resolution image. Gold particle count, size and shape are presented in a report. Based on that, the calibrated tool calculates the gold content of the sample in g/t or g/m3 or oz/100yd3
