Webinar on
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
