Automated Ammolite Grading System

Dinosty Fossils seeks to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of its ammolite grading process by developing an automated system that minimizes human error. Ammolite, a rare and valuable gemstone, requires precise grading to determine its quality and market value. Currently, the grading process is subjective and prone to inconsistencies due to human judgment. The goal of this project is to design a system that uses image recognition and machine learning algorithms to assess the quality of ammolite based on predefined criteria such as color, clarity, and iridescence. This project will allow learners to apply their knowledge of computer science and data analysis to solve a real-world problem. The tasks include researching existing grading systems, developing a prototype, and testing its accuracy against human graders.

Advanced Laser Tool for Ammolite/Ammonite Restoration

Dinosty Fossils seeks to innovate the restoration process of ammolite gemstones by developing a cutting-edge laser cutting tool. The primary challenge is to create a system that can precisely remove the concretion encasing these gemstones without causing any damage to the delicate ammolite surface. This project will involve the integration of high-precision laser technology with real-time sensor systems to ensure accuracy and safety. Additionally, intelligent control software will be developed to automate the process, making it more efficient and reliable. The goal is to refine the restoration process, reducing manual labor and increasing the quality of the final product. This project provides an opportunity for learners to apply their knowledge in laser technology, sensor integration, and software development, all within a cohesive system.

Ammolite Product Launch Strategy

Dinosty Fossils is preparing to launch a new line of ammolite products and seeks to create a dynamic product launch strategy focused on maximizing media presence, increasing its follower base, and generating interest in its offerings. The goal is to introduce the new product line with strong visibility and customer engagement across multiple platforms. This project will involve an in-depth analysis of current market trends, identifying target demographics, and crafting a marketing approach that reflects the distinct brand values of Dinosty Fossils. The strategy will emphasize digital marketing, engaging social media content, and collaborations to broaden reach and visibility. Learners will apply advanced marketing principles to develop a cohesive plan that includes: Analyzing Market Trends and Target Demographics: Conducting a thorough analysis of trends within the gemstone and fossil market, with an emphasis on high-value collectors and nature enthusiasts. Developing a Brand-Aligned Marketing Plan: Creating a launch strategy that highlights Dinosty Fossils' brand values and leverages the unique qualities of its ammolite products. Building Digital Marketing and Social Media Engagement Strategies: Designing an effective digital marketing approach, with a strong focus on social media campaigns aimed at building brand followers and increasing customer interest. Evaluating the Competitive Landscape: Analyzing competing products to position Dinosty Fossils' new line uniquely within the market, highlighting what sets their ammolite products apart. Through this project, learners will gain hands-on experience in constructing a launch strategy that elevates brand presence and creates meaningful engagement with potential customers.

Machine Learning Model Development for Material Identification

In this master's level project, students will collaborate to lay the essential groundwork for the development of a tricorder-inspired material identification device. The focus of this phase is to design, train, and evaluate machine learning models that will form the intelligence behind the tricorder. The project comprises key tasks aimed at preparing the necessary data and selecting models for effective material identification.
