Abstract

In this study, a multi-parameter extraction method of droplets with inclusions is proposed based on an enhanced MobileViT model and the rainbow scattering technique, which allows for the fast and accurate extraction of droplet size and inclusion volume concentration from extinct rainbow patterns. The rainbow scattering optical measurement system equipped with a monodisperse droplet generation system are then demonstrated, along with typical measurement signals of droplets with inclusions. Under different host droplet sizes (120–140 μm) and inclusion concentrations (0%∼0.3%), the results are analyzed and compared with previous extinction rainbow technique. The average relative error of droplet size is ±0.2%, and the maximum absolute error of the inclusion concentration not exceed 0.003%. Anti-noise tests are then performed with the peak signal-to-noise ratio, ranging from −5 dB to 15 dB. The accuracy of the method in extracting droplet size in Gaussian noise and Pepper noise below 5 dB is comparable to its noiseless performance, and the accuracy of the concentration extraction in certain conditions is superior to that of the extinction rainbow technique in no noise case. The proposed method, based on the enhanced MobileViT, takes only 5 ms to process a single image, enabling rapid dynamic monitoring of suspension sprays.
