- 先用YOLOv5检测后用SegFormer分割,结合卷积与视觉变压器优势
- 在准确率、召回率等指标上全面超越Weka和ilastik等现有工具
- 适合高通量合金研发中大量显微图像的自动化分析
极端环境用先进材料的性能取决于其微观结构,包括增强相的尺寸与分布。铬基超合金是近年来提出的替代传统面心立方超合金的新材料,适用于聚光太阳能等高温场景,其开发需高效测量电子显微镜图像中的析出相体积分数与尺寸分布。传统固定阈值图像处理方法易受背景噪声影响,跨材料泛化能力差,且需大量人工测量。为此,本研究提出DT-SegNet,一种基于YOLOv5与SegFormer的端到端两阶段深度学习方案,用于电子显微镜图像中的目标检测与分割。该方法在检测阶段利用卷积神经网络的训练效率,在分割阶段采用视觉变压器的高精度。数值实验表明,DT-SegNet在准确率、精确率、召回率及F1分数等多项指标上显著优于Weka和ilastik等现有先进分割工具。该模型为合金研发中的微观结构分析提供了有效工具,有助于应对高通量合金开发中的大规模数据挑战。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The performance of advanced materials for extreme environments is underpinned by their microstructure, including the size and distribution of reinforcing phases. Chromium-based superalloys are a recently proposed alternative to conventional face-centred-cubic superalloys for high-temperature applications, such as Concentrated Solar Power, and their development requires efficient measurement of precipitate volume fraction and size distribution from electron microscopy images. Traditional fixed-threshold image processing is sensitive to background noise, generalises poorly across materials, and requires substantial manual measurement effort. To address these bottlenecks, this study proposes DT-SegNet, an end-to-end two-stage deep learning scheme based on YOLOv5 and SegFormer for object detection and segmentation in electron microscopy images. The approach combines the training efficiency of convolutional neural networks at the detection stage with the segmentation accuracy of a Vision Transformer. Numerical experiments show that DT-SegNet substantially outperforms state-of-the-art segmentation tools offered by Weka and ilastik across metrics including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The model provides a useful tool for alloy-development microstructure examinations and helps address the large datasets associated with high-throughput alloy development.
