Python code: Classification of in situ high speed videos of the gravure printing fluid splitting process using deep learning

The files that are made available here are all the key components that are needed to recreate the automated classification of high speed videos of the gravure printing fluid splitting process using deep learning. The purpose of this was to create a tool that can distinguish the distinct regimes of pattern formation. This could ultimately lead to a better understanding of the fluid splitting process and a complete map of pattern formation regimes. The zip-file "Python_code" contains the Python script that was used to extract PNG frames from a video dataset created by Julian Schäfer in 2019 ([DOI: 10.25534/tudatalib-191.2](https://doi.org/10.25534/tudatalib-191.2)). The result of this frame extraction is provided as "Frame_dataset_PNG_8_bit.zip". Additionally, "Python_code.zip" contains the scripts for training the deep learning models and using them for inference. All trained models for the associated publication can be found in the zip-file "models".
