  1. Comparison of the different R2 values for the relative density D, the specific perimeter SP2D,  the shape index and their average, in relationship to the different samples (HPA, HPB, NPC) and microstructure prediction models (cGAN, DDPM). The analysis indicates that the DDPM provides better results than the cGAN model.
