Summary: Defects affect various properties of supplies, shaping their structural, mechanical, and digital traits. Amongst quite a lot of supplies exhibiting distinctive defects, magnets exhibit various nano- to micro-scale defects and have been intensively studied in supplies science. Particularly, defects in magnetic labyrinthine patterns, known as junctions and terminals, function the canonical targets of the analysis. Whereas detecting and characterizing such defects is essential for understanding magnets, systematically investigating large-scale photos containing over a thousand carefully packed junctions and terminals stays a formidable problem. This examine introduces a brand new method known as TM-CNN (Template Matching — Convolutional Neural Community) designed to detect a large number of small objects in photos, such because the defects in magnetic labyrinthine patterns. TM-CNN was used to establish 641,649 such constructions in 444 experimental photos, and the outcomes have been explored to deepen understanding of magnetic supplies. It employs a two-stage detection strategy combining template matching, utilized in preliminary detection, with a convolutional neural community, used to remove incorrect identifications. To coach a CNN classifier, it’s essential to annotate a lot of coaching photos.This problem prevents using CNN in lots of sensible functions. TM-CNN considerably reduces the guide workload for creating coaching photos by routinely making many of the annotations and leaving solely a small variety of corrections to human reviewers. In testing, TM-CNN achieved a formidable F1 rating of 0.991, far outperforming conventional template matching and CNN-based object detection algorithms
