Beyond Human Perception: Transforming Process Analysis in Synthetic Chemistry using Video Augmentation and AI-Assisted Computer Vision

8th June 2023 at 3pm (UK time)

 

Human observation remains a key component of synthetic chemistry with descriptions of colour change, precipitation and other visual process variables retaining importance particularly in early process development. These descriptions are open to interpretation (e.g. is that yellow solution yellow enough to proceed?!) and tend to be made at scientist relevant times rather than led purely by the chemistry (e.g. stir reaction overnight)

 

Supplementing these critical observations with video augmented with AI assisted computer vision techniques is an attractive means for digitising these observational data.

 

This presentation describes early case studies from a recent collaboration between reach industries (lumi lab camera an AI platform) and CatSci (pharmaceutical innovation partner) in which visual changes such as colour, turbidity, volume and phase splits are translated into time based process relevant information.  State of the art deep learning techniques identifying key liquid pixels along with automatic event detection are described alongside practical insights for use in the lab and the support of industrial chemical research.



This webinar will take no longer than one hour.

 

The webinar will be presented by Sam Whitmarsh from CatSci
