Publication Accès libre Multi-method 2D and 3D reconstruction of gold grains morphology in alluvial deposits : a review and application to the Rivière du Moulin (Québec, Canada)(2021-06-03) Beaudoin, Georges; Laurendeau, Denis; Masson, François-XavierThe aim of this paper is to document and compare the 2D qualitative and semi-quantitative methods currently used to describe the shape of gold grains in fluvial environments with the 3D quantitative methods using X-ray microtomography and SEM photogrammetry. These 3D methods are used to compute flatness, roundness, convexity, sphericity and ellipticity shape descriptors of 13 gold grains from the Rivière du Moulin (Québec, Canada) in order to quantify the morphological change along 9 km of fluvial transport. Gold grains have moderate to high values of flatness, compactness, sphericity and ellipticity indices that do not change significantly with distance of transport, whereas the roundness increases during transport. Gold grains are used to compare 2D and 3D methods, and the results show small differences (<8%) when shape descriptors are computed using image analysis software, whereas the difference (up to 70%) is more important for 2D measurements performed by a human operator. For application and characterization on a large set of gold grains, the 2D methods offer the advantage of speed, whereas, for a more detailed study on a limited number of gold grains, 3D methods enable estimation of the volume and yield more detailed shape descriptor changes during fluvial transport.Publication Accès libre Quantification of the morphology of gold grains in 3D using X-ray microscopy and SEM photogrammetry(Society for Sedimentary Geology (S E P M), 2020-03-23) Beaudoin, Georges; Laurendeau, Denis; Masson, François-XavierThe shape of gold is widely used in mineral exploration and in sedimentology to estimate the distance of transport from the source to the site of deposition. However, estimation of the morphology is based on qualitative observations or on the quantification of shape in 2D. The 3D analysis of grain shape is useful for accurate morphometric quantification and to evaluate its volume, which is related to particle size. This study compares X-ray 3D microscope and 3D SEM photogrammetry to reconstruct the shape of gold particles. These new methods are exploited to quantify the shape of gold grains 85 to 300 μm in size. The shape parameters, such as axial lengths, surface area, volume, diameter of curvature of all corners, and diameter of the largest inscribed sphere and smallest circumscribed sphere are measured on a particle in order to estimate shape factors such as flatness ratios, shape indices, sphericity, and roundness. Most shape parameters and shape factors estimated on the same gold grain with simple geometry are similar between the two approaches. This result validates these methods for the 3D description of gold particles with simple morphology, while providing a methodology for describing grains with more complex geometry.
