SPECTOR
Streamlining the core logging process
SPECTOR is an integrated technology platform offering high-quality core imagery, geologist-centric visual core logging software, and AI tools to automate various logging tasks. SPECTOR streamlines the core logging process making it faster, reproducible, and more consistent while enabling remote logging.

Need to INgest Core Images? |
FACT. Mining companies have drill core images that are often sub-optimal, inconsistent, unstructured, and cumbersome to locate access, and use.
FACT. Machine learning models (AI) perform best with consistent, high-quality, structured imagery.
FACT. It is labor-intensive to manually transform traditional core photographs into structured, segmented, imagery optimized for AI.
SPECTOR INgest can be applied to both historical and new images to produce structured, depth-referenced, and searchable core images, available online for manual or AI-based core logging or re-logging. This promotes shared knowledge and a collaborative workflow, adding ease, efficiency, and consistency to your geology classification process.
SPECTOR INgest is a NEW software, designed to quickly ingest and structure your core images so they are conveniently searchable and accessible from anywhere in the world. The secure cloud-based software platform combined with artificial intelligence (AI) autonomously extracts geological information from underutilized core imagery, allowing for valuable new datasets. SPECTOR INgest facilitates automated depth referencing, and image segmentation, providing structured “AI-optimised” imagery.
Once structured, AI models can be deployed across all available imagery to predict RQD, lithology, and alteration, assisting users to produce more consistent logs faster
SPECTOR INgest |
SPECTOR INgest is a software module, designed to quickly ingest and structure your core images so they are conveniently searchable and accessible from anywhere in the world. SPECTOR INgest facilitates automated depth referencing, and image segmentation, providing structured “AI optimised” imagery.
Benefits:
- Fast throughput of legacy data as well as current imagery taken by photography sources
- No more lost or difficult-to-locate core images: all in one place
- Ingestion of legacy images allows you to drive further value: quick depth referencing and quick logs
- AI-generated logs can be pushed to affiliate software platforms (Leapfrog, acQuire).
- Pushes your data across affiliate platforms (acQuire, Leapfrog).

Workflow |
SPECTOR INgest structures your images with AI assisted cropping, rotating, templating, and perspective corrections to rapidly optimize and import your data for further analysis.
Once ingested, geologists view and log the core remotely, leveraging additional automation tools and features within SPECTOR Geo.
In addition, our SPECTOR AI (“Joyce”) can run targeted models on specified subsets of the data (or the entire dataset) to more consistently measure and log geological information.
SPECTOR INgest + AI |
SPECTOR INgest provides the following major features with its initial launch:
- Fast throughput of legacy data as well as current imagery taken by photography sources
- No more lost or difficult-to-locate core images: all in one place
- Ingestion of legacy images allows you to drive further value: quick depth referencing and quick logs
- AI-generated logs can be pushed to affiliate software platforms (Leapfrog and acQuire gimsuite).


INTEGRATIONS | Visual core logging software
KORE automation tools designed to streamline the core logging process increase the productivity of mundane tasks by 10x and support integration with 3rd party applications. Our visual core logging platform SPECTOR Geo uses AI to generate quick logs that geologists can modify and approve, improving productivity and consistency. Once logs are finalized, they can be automatically uploaded to industry software (Leapfrog and acQuire gimsuite), updating the model in real-time. Through our partnerships and industry integrations, KORE GeoSystems provides further geological knowledge which accelerates decision-making, an essential requirement in today’s modern mining environment.
