Open-source machine vision model for classifying geological images from documents

Ahead of Earth Science week I've openly released a free machine vision model which automatically classifies geological images from documents. Those that have large archives of geoscience documentation may find this helpful to discover, and potentially repurpose, old geological data for new knowledge.Schools and researchers may also find the model helpful to spark their own...
