SYNAPS-I: Intelligent computing transforms X-ray imaging, from data collection to discovery
PhysicsMaterials Science
THE AI ANGLE
Selecting scan regions and reconstructing X-ray images in real timeNational laboratory researchers integrated machine learning models directly into X-ray beamline experiments to automate data collection and image reconstruction. The system selects sample regions autonomously and reconstructs three-dimensional ptychography images at 200 frames per second using one-tenth of typical data volumes. This allows researchers to reduce radiation damage to samples and complete measurements with far less beam time.
THE TEACHING ANGLE
Relying on algorithms to autonomously pick regions of interest saves beam time, though it risks bypassing unexpected physical features that human operators might notice.Read the original at techxplore.com Generate teaching or study materials
