- 适合核燃料分析、图像分割与可靠性评估场景
三结构各向同性(TRISO)包覆颗粒燃料在高温中子辐照下会发生尺寸变化和化学反应。辐照后显微组织分析有助于理解影响燃料性能的过程,如包覆层完整性和裂变产物保持能力。传统方法依赖专家手动评估数千张亚毫米尺度样本的横截面图像,过程繁琐且主观性强。本文提出UA-Net,一种深度学习框架,可对TRISO燃料微图像中的五个特征区域进行语义分割,并生成预测不确定性图。模型采用多阶段预训练策略:先在ImageNet上学习通用图像表征,再在不同辐照实验及AGR-5/6/7颗粒横截面的TRISO微图像上进行微调。引入元模型以识别图像中的微小缺陷。在包含102张图像的测试集上,模型达到95.5%的平均交并比(mIoU)和97.3%的平均精确率(mP)。元模型实现91.8%特异性和93.5%敏感性,展现出优异的误分类检测能力。该模型还应用于新TRISO图像进行定性评估,准确提取各层区域。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Tristructural isotropic (TRISO)-coated particle fuels undergo dimensional changes and chemical reactions during high-temperature neutron irradiation. Post-irradiation materialography helps understand processes that impact fuel performance, such as coating integrity and fission product retention. Conventionally, experts manually evaluate features in thousands of cross sections of sub-mm-sized samples, which is tedious and subjective. In this work, we propose UA-Net, a deep learning framework that segments five characteristic regions of TRISO fuel micrographs and generates an uncertainty map for predictions. The model uses a multi-stage pretraining strategy, starting with general image representations learned from ImageNet, followed by fine-tuning on TRISO micrographs from various irradiation experiments and AGR-5/6/7 particle cross sections. A meta-model for uncertainty prediction is integrated to identify small defects in TRISO images. UA-Net was evaluated on a test set of 102 images, achieving mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) and mean Precision (mP) of 95.5% and 97.3%, respectively. The meta-model achieved a specificity of 91.8% and sensitivity of 93.5%, demonstrating strong performance in detecting misclassifications. The model was also applied to new TRISO images for qualitative evaluation, showing high accuracy in extracting layer regions.
