Researchers have developed a computer vision framework using deep learning to predict the fatigue life of steel alloys from micrographs. This method bypasses the need for lengthy mechanical testing, offering a faster alternative for quality control. The framework incorporates a multi-stage preprocessing routine, a physics-informed feature extractor, and a CNN regression model trained with a specialized loss function to predict fatigue life and associated uncertainty. Initial evaluations on synthetic data show promising accuracy and improved model calibration. AI
