Description
Summary:Hydrofluoroether (HFE) impurities detection is an issue related to detecting chemical contamination within a high volume manufacturing (HVM) chiller caused by a rapid emulated environmental attack. The aftereffects of the cycle emulated attack may eventually create a micro-crack in the heat-exchanger. This event eventually causes the contamination of HFE due to multiple chemical interactions. This study proposes a new classification methodology to detect HFE chemical impurities using induction by a 532nm laser. The purpose of the laser induction is to leverage its laser speckle contrast attributes and amplify its detection. One of the reasons for choosing the 532nm laser spectrum is its highest quantum efficiency. Once amplification of detection is achieved, the detector tends to be in a highly sensitive mode due to low marginality to differentiate between two different conditions. This mode is prone to be stochastic. Thus, a new form of architecture known as Deep Learning Laser Speckle Contrast Evolving Spiking Neural Network (DL-LSC-ESNN) is proposed. The architecture utilizes speckle contrast domain conversion, dimensional additivity of the receptive neuron of evolving spiking neural network (ESNN), followed by the strength of Convolution Neural Network (CNN) feature extraction (FE) capability. Ultimately, the evolving and adaptive ability of ESNN is assimilated and integrated seamlessly. CNN acted to extract only an important spike train, and the result is its essences of important spikes or spike feature maps. The spike feature maps are then fed into the ESNN neuron repository, which either assimilates or creates a new neuron repository. The proposed methods show significant improvement in the accuracy of detection against multiple baseline state of the art CNN architecture and ultimately demonstrated its capability to detect real-time contamination of HFE thus improved the detection rate significantly for the HVM environment.
