fraXteX returns a fracture-trace probability for each pixel of an RGB drone orthomosaic of an outcrop, at millimeter to centimeter ground resolution. Some of its models also take a co-registered elevation model.
The output is an aid to interpreting the outcrop, not a substitute for it. Traces still need checking by someone who knows the rock.
The weights are MIT-licensed. One model embeds Meta’s SAM 2 image encoder, which is Apache-2.0.

The lab runs this on its own compute, in a container, with the inputs and parameters recorded alongside the result. Initial scoping conversations are free.
