Abstract Scope |
Computer vision has shown promise for identifying and quantifying metallic powder particles, offering a rapid and repeatable process for non-destructive evaluations of powder morphology. However, until very recently the barrier of entry into utilizing these computer vision tools was extremely high. Datasets (micrographs of powder particles) could take days to annotate, models required high-performance clusters such as supercomputers, and the code needed an extensive programming background. With our recent advancements, datasets can be grown in minutes, models trained on laptops, and code can be executed in a few lines. This work presents a case study comparing previous cutting-edge workflows to our modern capabilities for identifying and segmenting particles in SEM images. Trade-offs of varying model architectures are discussed, including the relationship between computational cost and performance. Lastly, applications of this technology to improve non-destructive analysis and reduce manual labor are highlighted. |
