description In situ rapid classification of rock lithology is crucial in various fields, including geological exploration and petroleum logging. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is particularly well-suited for in situ online analysis due to its rapid response time and minimal sample preparation requirements. To facilitate in situ raw rock discrimination analysis, a portable LIBS device was developed specifically for outdoor use. This device built upon a previous multi-directional optimization scheme and integrated machine learning to classify seven types of original rock samples: mudstone, basalt, dolomite, sandstone, conglomerate, gypsolyte, and shale from oil logging sites. Initially, spectral data were collected from random areas of each rock sample, and a series of pre-processing steps and data dimensionality reduction were performed to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of the LIBS device. Subsequently, four classification algorithms—linear discriminant analysis (LDA), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost)—were employed for classification discrimination. The results were evaluated using a confusion matrix. The final average classification accuracies achieved were 95.71%, 93.57%, 92.14%, and 98.57%, respectively. This work not only demonstrates the effectiveness of the portable LIBS device in classifying various original rock types, but it also highlights the potential of the XGBoost algorithm in improving LIBS analytical performance in field scenarios and geological applications, such as oil logging sites.
