A research area of particular current importance is therefore the development of real-time monitoring and feedback systems for laser machining, via visual inspection of the sample during machining.

Abstract

Advances in lasers now allow the laser-based processing of almost any material. Innovation in this field is now becoming heavily focussed on making existing processing techniques more precise and efficient. A research area of particular current importance is therefore the development of real-time monitoring and feedback systems for laser machining, via visual inspection of the sample during machining.
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) offer the capability for image processing without the need for understanding the underlying physical processes, and hence offer an ideal solution for the monitoring of laser machining, which itself is not fully understood.
In this talk, the application of CNNs for real-time monitoring and process control for laser machining will be discussed, along with the capability of CNNs for predicting the outcome of laser machining before the experiment occurs. In addition, an application of combining laser light with CNNs for real-time sensing of pollution particulates will be demonstrated.
