abstract = {The rapidly growing use of imaging infrastructure in the
energy materials domain drives significant data accumulation
in terms of their amount and complexity. The applications of
routine techniques for image processing in materials
research are often ad hoc, indiscriminate, and empirical,
which renders the crucial task of obtaining reliable metrics
for quantifications obscure. Moreover, these techniques are
expensive, slow, and often involve several preprocessing
steps. This paper presents a novel deep learning-based
approach for the high-throughput analysis of the particle
size distributions from transmission electron microscopy
(TEM) images of carbon-supported catalysts for polymer
electrolyte fuel cells. A dataset of 40 high-resolution TEM
images at different magnification levels, from 10 to 100 nm
scales, was annotated manually. This dataset was used to
train the U-Net model, with the StarDist formulation for the
loss function, for the nanoparticle segmentation task.
StarDist reached a precision of $86\%,$ recall of $85\%,$
and an F1-score of $85\%$ by training on datasets as small
as thirty images. The segmentation maps outperform models
reported in the literature for a similar problem, and the
results on particle size analyses agree well with manual
particle size measurements, albeit at a significantly lower
cost.},
