Title
Detecting Anomalies In X-Ray Diffraction Images Using Convolutional Neural Networks
Abstract
Our understanding of life is based upon the interpretation of macromolecular structures and their dynamics. Almost 90% of currently known macromolecular models originated from electron density maps constructed using X-ray diffraction images. Even though diffraction images are critical for structure determination, due to their vast amounts and noisy, non-intuitive nature, their quality is rarely inspected. In this paper, we use recent advances in machine learning to automatically detect seven types of anomalies in X-ray diffraction images. For this purpose, we utilize a novel X-ray beam center detection algorithm, propose three different image representations, and compare the predictive performance of general-purpose classifiers and deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs). In benchmark tests on a set of 6,311 X-ray diffraction images, the proposed CNN achieved between 87% and 99% accuracy depending on the type of anomaly. Experimental results show that the proposed anomaly detection system can be considered suitable for early detection of sub-optimal data collection conditions and malfunctions at X-ray experimental stations.
