Rock imaging is now recognized as an expert discipline that requires deep technical knowledge of imaging methodologies, a keen understanding of the complexity of rocks, and familiarity with data science techniques including image processing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
The Rock Imaging Special Interest Group (RISIG) is home to over 600 experts in rock imaging. We are currently planning our annual event, iRIS2021, which will be a virtual event in November 2021. More information about the event can be found here.
Last year, iRIS2020 was also a fully virtual event and was a resounding success, with 37 presentations across eleven moderated technical sessions and a panel session on the topic “The Future of Rock Imaging”.
All presentations at iRIS2021 will be made available to delegates on the rockimaging.org website after the event. Copyright in the presentations will rest with the authors and/or their employer, but must explicitly allow this sharing.
