Machine eye for defects: Machine learning-based solution to identify and characterize topological defects in textured images of nematic materials

Topological defects play a key role in the structures and dynamics of liquid crystals and other ordered systems. There is a recent interest in studying defects in different biological systems with distinct textures. However, a robust method to directly recognize defects and extract their structural...
