Automated Microstructure Classification with Class-Specific Segmentation for Titanium Based Composite Materials
Abstract: In engineering, characterisation of microstructure is required to determine and forecast behaviour of titanium alloys. Our proposal in this work has been a deep-learning-based framework in the automatic classification and segmentation of Titanium Based Composite Material. The framework then uses EfficientNetB0 backbone, where we have chosen the backbone to scale the performance of classification and the computational efficiency with the assistance of the transfer learning and the compound scaling. In …

Optical Image Sensing and Analysis of Iron Ore Pellets: A Machine Learning Approach
Abstract: The present work is aimed to improve quality control in steel production using SEM imaging and machine learning. High-resolution SEM images of iron ore pellets, primarily composed of hematite and magnetite, are analyzed to understand their microstructural features, which significantly impact pellet performance during reduction processes. Traditional microstructure analysis is manual, time- consuming, and prone to inconsistencies. This study proposes an automated approach using K-Means Clustering, Canny Edge Detection, DBSCAN, …

Wear and Tribological Characteristics of Novel Metal Matrix Composites
Abstract: The development of advanced metal matrix composites (MMCs) with enhanced tribological performance has become increasingly important due to the premature failure of critical engineering components operating under severe wear conditions in automotive, aerospace, marine, defense, and power generation systems. Conventional composites such as Copper–Alumina and Aluminium–Silicon Carbide have demonstrated improved mechanical and wear characteristics; however, their widespread application is often limited by issues including particle agglomeration, non-uniform reinforcement distribution, porosity …

Survey on Retinal OCT Image Preprocessing, Segmentation, and Deep Learning Based Classification
Abstract: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive technique that generates high-resolution, detailed cross-sectional images of biological tissues. By utilizing low-coherence interferometry, OCT enables visualization of tissue microstructure with micron-scale resolution, making it useful in various medical fields such as ophthalmology, cardiology, and dermatology. In ophthalmology, OCT is extensively used for diagnosing and monitoring retinal diseases like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, allowing doctors to assess changes in tissue morphology over …
