Abstract
This paper proposes a generative model and transfer learning powered system for classification of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images of defective nanofibers (D-NF) and nondefective nanofibers (ND-NF) produced by electrospinning (ES) process. Specifically, a conditional-Generative Adversarial Network (c-GAN) is developed to generate synthetic D-NF/ND-NF SEM images. A transfer learning-oriented strategy is also proposed. First, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is pre-trained on real images. The transfer-learned CNN is trained on synthetic SEM images and validated on real ones, reporting accuracy rate up to 95.31%. The achieved encouraging results endorse the use of the proposed generative model in industrial applications as it could reduce the number of needed laboratory ES experiments that are costly and time consuming.
