description Bubble multiphase systems are crucial in industries such as biotechnology, medicine, oil and gas, and water treatment. Optical data analysis provides critical insights into bubble characteristics, such as the shape and size, complementing physical sensor data. Existing detection techniques rely on classical computer vision algorithms and neural network models. While neural networks achieve a higher accuracy, they require extensive annotated datasets, and classical methods often struggle with complex systems due to their lower accuracy. This study proposes a novel framework to address these limitations. Using Superformula parameter regression, we introduce an advanced border detection method for accurately identifying gas inclusions and complex-shaped objects in multiphase environments. The framework also includes a new approach for generating realistic artificial bubble images based on physical flow conditions, leveraging the Superformula to create extensive, labeled datasets without manual annotation. Tested on real bubble flows in mass transfer equipment, the algorithms enable bubble classification by shape and size, enhance detection accuracy, and reduce development time for neural network solutions. This work provides a robust method for object detection and dataset generation in multiphase systems, paving the way for more precise modeling and analysis.
