• Abstract: Metallography is crucial for a proper assessment of material's properties. It involves mainly the investigation of spatial distribution of grains and the occurrence and characteristics of inclusions or precipitates. This work presents an holistic artificial intelligence model for Anomaly Detection that automatically quantifies the degree of anomaly of impurities in alloys. We suggest the following examination process: (1) Deep semantic segmentation is performed on the inclusions (based on a suitable metallographic database of alloys and corresponding tags of inclusions), producing inclusions masks that are saved into a separated database. (2) Deep image inpainting is performed to fill the removed inclusions parts, resulting in 'clean' metallographic images, which contain the background of grains. (3) Grains' boundaries are marked using deep semantic segmentation (based on another metallographic database of alloys), producing boundaries that are ready for further inspection on the distribution of grains' size. (4) Deep anomaly detection and pattern recognition is performed on the inclusions masks to determine spatial, shape and area anomaly detection of the inclusions. Finally, the system recommends to an expert on areas of interests for further examination. The performance of the model is presented and analyzed based on few representative cases. Although the models presented here were developed for metallography analysis, most of them can be generalized to a wider set of problems in which anomaly detection of geometrical objects is desired. All models as well as the data-sets that were created for this work, are publicly available at https://github.com/Scientific-Computing-Lab-NRCN/MLography.

• Encoding Metal Mask Projection for Metal Artifact Reduction in Computed Tomography [21.5885187197634]
  Metal artifact reduction (MAR) in computed tomography (CT) is a notoriously challenging task because the artifacts are structured and non-local in the image domain. We propose to address the problem by (1) retaining the metal-affected regions in sinogram and (2) replacing the binarized metal trace with the metal mask projection. Our novel network yields more precise artifact-reduced images than the state-of-the-art approaches, especially when metallic objects are large.
