Fig. 1: Latent space representation of all microstructures from the validation set.
From: Predicting structure zone diagrams for thin film synthesis by generative machine learning

Patches created from experimental SEM surface images are plotted at their position in the dimensionally-reduced latent space. A continuous variation of microstructures is observed with respect to similarity of feature size and shape (e.g., featureless, fine-grained, oriented-facetted, smooth-facetted, coarse-facetted).
