Identification of Nanoparticle Agglomeration in Polymer Plates Reinforced with Carbon Nanotubes by Use of Active Thermography and Deep Learning-Based Image Processing by Mazharul Islam, Raihan Sarker

“…An eight-layer DCNN framework was implemented using three different window sizes of 41×41, 51×51, and 61×61 pixels, which was trained using 175,598 segments of images, of which 85% was made available for training, while 15% was used for evaluation. Compared to conventional thermographic inspection methods that rely on manual interpretation, the proposed approach enhances defect detection by combining active infrared imaging with deep learning, providing automated, high-resolution classification of nanoparticle agglomeration zones for more accurate and scalable evaluation of nanocomposites.…”
