Core is an important physical geological data formed in the process of mineral resource exploration,geological investigation,and scientific research.It has high potential value,acquisition cost,objectivity,uniqueness,reusability,and non-renewability.During the storage and service process,rock cores may gradually become weathered,damaged,or missing.By carrying out core digitization work,not only can the utilization rate of core be improved and the damage to physical data be reduced,but also the sharing level of core graphic and textual data and information can be improved,providing efficient data support and services for strategic mineral exploration in our province.This paper introduces the current situation of geological data management for physical rock cores in our province,summarizes the current digital technology methods for rock cores,and explores the core image and spectral scanning technology and workflow through the construction of the geological data center.It also elaborates on the important significance of digital rock cores in our province.
