A convolutional neural network-based framework for quality control through speckle displacement analysis

Sabahno, Hamed LU orcid and Khodadad, Davood (2025) In Scientific Reports 15.
Abstract
Among the most advanced techniques for quality control, image processing and optical methods areprominent because of their precision and versatility. These methods often involve analyzing specklesgenerated by coherent laser illumination because coherent light provides detailed and accuratemeasurement capabilities. In speckle metrology-based techniques, the accurate measurement ofspeckle displacements is crucial for detecting faults or deformations in objects. In this study, anadvanced algorithm segments the image into overlapping grids, followed by a Fourier-based imageregistration to accurately quantify the speckle displacements. This method can simultaneously detectmultiple translational movements in the different parts of an object.... (More)

This method can simultaneously detectmultiple translational movements in the different parts of an object. However, proper calculationand assignment of overlap sizes to each grid plays a crucial role in this method, which is where weobtain help from convolutional neural networks (CNNs). We develop a CNN architecture and optimizeits hyperparameters using a Monte Carlo simulation algorithm incorporating a grid search and k-fold cross-validation. Finally, we validate the developed method through a case study involving asimulation and real speckle patterns generated by spraying water on a cardboard surface. (Less)
