This experiment was implemented to collect infrared images of the coal and gangue samples at the temperature of 323.15 K. Additionally, it showed that distinguishing between coal and gangue samples is feasible, although the area, thickness, and surface conditions were changed at a constant temperature during the process of capturing the infrared images. The coal and gangue were randomly collected from the same mine. The random samples had different weights, shapes, areas, thicknesses, and surface conations. 

These last decades, Earth Observation brought quantities of new perspectives from geosciences to human activity monitoring. As more data became available, artificial intelligence techniques led to very successful results for understanding remote sensing data. Moreover, various acquisition techniques such as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) can also be used for problems that could not be tackled only through optical images. This is the case for weather-related disasters such as floods or hurricanes, which are generally associated with large clouds cover.

It is possible to construct "aerosol cytometers" based on different types of Zhulanov's laser  aerosol counters | diffusion aerosol spectrometers (DAS) [1-8] and "hydrosol cytometers" based on hydrosol particle counters (adopted for ocean marine, ocean and hydrothermal conditions [9,10]).
