The present work focuses on designing a robust deep-learning model to track bubble dynamics in a vertical rectangular mini-channel. The rectangular mini-channel is heated from one side with a constant heat flux, resulting in the creation of bubbles. Images of the bubbles are recorded using a high-speed camera, which serve as the input data for the deep learning model. The raw image data acquired from the high-speed camera is inherently noisy due to the presence of shadows, reflections, background noise, and chaotic bubbles. The objective is to extract the mask of the bubble given all these challenging factors. Transfer learning is adopted to eliminate the need for a large dataset to train the deep learning model and also to reduce computational costs. The trained model is then validated against the validation datasets, demonstrating an accuracy of 98% while detecting the bubbles. The model is then evaluated …
