Machine learning assisted droplet trajectories extraction in dense emulsions and their analysis

Abstract

This work analyzes trajectories obtained by YOLO and DeepSORT algorithms of dense emulsion systems simulated by Lattice Boltzmann methods. The results indicate that the individual droplet's moving direction is influenced more by the droplets immediately behind it than the droplets in front of it. The analysis also provides hints on constraints on writing down a dynamical model of droplets for the dense emulsion in narrow channels.
