Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Image recognition, classification, and analysis of large sets of high-resolution molecular images are time-consuming and labor-intensive, even for human experts, due to the lack of standardized approaches. In recent years, machine learning has emerged as a powerful tool for automating image data analysis in materials science. In this work, we developed a computer vision program for efficient object detection and instance segmentation, offering a fast alternative to manual molecular image analysis. By integrating You Only Look Once version 9 (YOLOv9) with an incremental learning strategy and hyperparameter optimization, the system enables accurate detection, classification, and segmentation of demonstrate robust performance and minimal forgetting rates across multiple molecular categories, enabling scalable and updatable surface image analysis workflows. We anticipate that computer vision methods will see increasing applications in image data analysis within the field of on-surface chemistry.
