An automatic visual system for marble tile classification
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part B: Journal of Engineering Manufacture, 2002The international market of ornamental stone has seen the use of materials quarrying from East Europe, Africa, Asia and South America, characterized by a low cost of labour. This event has embittered the competition in this field. Hence, it becomes fundamental to produce machined products of high quality in a more efficient way.

Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of flooring materials: ceramic versus marble tiles
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2002Abstract Flooring materials, particularly ceramic and marble tiles, play a relevant role in the Italian economy since this country covers respectively 23% and 18% of the world output in this sector. In this paper a comparative Life Cycle Assessment between these two flooring materials has been carried out in order to identify the one with the best ...

Incorporation of fillers from marble and tile wastes in the composition of self-compacting concretes
Construction and Building Materials, 2015Abstract The objective of this paper is to evaluate the incorporation of wastes from marbles and tiles factories as mineral additives to self-compacting concrete (SCC) and to substitute at 100% the known additions (limestone filler, fly ash, …). The use of these wastes can help produce economical self-compacting concretes (SCCW) and reduce the amount

The use of sewage sludge and marble residues in the manufacture of ceramic tile bodies
Applied Clay Science, 2009The substitution of clayey raw materials for other wastes, in this case urban sewage sludge and marble sludge, in the production of traditional ceramics could be cost effective from the utilisation and recycling of these wastes as a secondary raw material.

Texture Analysis for Machine Learning Based Marble Tiles Sorting
2021 IEEE 11th Annual Computing and Communication Workshop and Conference (CCWC), 2021In this paper, the classification of ornamental dolomitic marble stone tiles, in regard to their aesthetical value, was studied based on the rock's texture. The stone tiles examined are of a dolomitic marble variety commercially known as Lais Grey. Twenty four (24) texture descriptors and seven (7) machine learning models were tested in order to find ...

Recycling of ceramic tiles waste and marble waste in sustainable production of concrete: a review
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022Currently, recycling of waste materials in construction is being considered very important because waste generation is posing serious threats to our living environment. Hence, to induce sustainability in the ongoing urban development, researchers around the globe are using numerous wastes in concrete as partial substitutes of binders (cement, lime, etc.

A specific kind of Moscow tile – tiles with marbled decoratio
Археология Подмосковья: Материалы научного семинара, 2019Flat, painted stove tiles with marble-effect decoration first appeared in Moscow in the 1740s, and continued in popularity until the latter 18th century. The author attributes this development to a rising fashion for interior decoration featuring marbled plaster for interiors, stoves, and fireplaces.

A generic system for the classification of marble tiles using Gabor filters
2008 23rd International Symposium on Computer and Information Sciences, 2008This paper presents a marble tile feature extraction system which can be easily used for any classification system. Our system employs Gabor filtering and other image processing techniques to differentiate between different marble textures. As a final product of the system, the percentages of veins, spots, and swirls on the marble images are calculated.
