Claim 9:
10. A computer-implemented ore processing method executed by one or more processors, the method comprising:
causing an imaging capture system to record a plurality of images of a stream of ore fragments en route from a first location in an ore processing facility to a second location in the ore processing facility, wherein the ore fragments are treated with a fluid imaging enhancement prior to the recording of the plurality of images;
correlating the plurality of images of the stream of ore fragments with one or more characteristics of the ore fragments using a machine learning model that comprises a plurality of ore parameter measurements associated with the one or more characteristics of the ore fragments;
determining, based on the correlation, at least one of the one or more characteristics of the ore fragments;
determining, based on at least one of the plurality of images, an anomaly within the stream of ore fragments;
based on the determination of the anomaly, causing a change to an operation of the ore processing facility; and
generating, for display on a user computing device, data indicating the one or more characteristics of the ore fragments or data indicating an action or decision based on the one or more characteristics of the ore fragments.
