In the domain of materials science, the knowledge about the location and movement of dislocations is important for creating novel materials with superior properties. A longstanding problem, however, is to identify the position and extract the shape of dislocations, which would ultimately help to create a digital twin of such materials. In this work, we quantitatively compare state-of-the-art instance segmentation methods, including Mask R-CNN and YOLOv8. The dislocation masks as the results of the instance segmentation are converted to mathematical lines, enabling quantitative analysis of dislocation length and geometry - important information for the domain scientist, which we then propose to include as a novel length-aware quality metric for estimating the network performance. Our segmentation pipeline shows a high accuracy suitable for all domain-specific, further post-processing. Additionally, our physics-based metric turns out to perform much more consistently than typically used pixel-wise metrics.}, month = {Jul}, date = {2023-07-02}, organization = {2023 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Nanotechnology (NANO), Jeju City (Korea), 2 Jul 2023 - 5 Jul 2023}, cin = {IAS-9}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)IAS-9-20201008}, pnm = {5111 - Domain-Specific Simulation $\&$ Data Life Cycle Labs (SDLs) and Research Groups (POF4-511)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5111}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)8}, UT = {WOS:001061580700068}, doi = {10.1109/NANO58406.2023.10231169}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1015186}, }
