Abstract

Abstract The WEST (W Environment in Steady-state Tokamak) divertor serves as the primary element for heat exhaust and contributes critically to plasma control. The divertor receives intense heat fluxes, potentially leading to damage to the plasma facing units. Hence, it is of major interest for the safety of divertor operation to detect and characterize the hot spots appearing on the divertor surface. This is done through the use of infrared (IR) cameras, which provide a thermal mapping of the divertor surface. In this work, a knowledge-informed divertor hot spot detector is demonstrated, that explicitly accounts for hot spot structure and temperature repartition. A novel neural network, termed as Constrained U-Net, is proposed, which uses as input the bounding boxes of hot spots from prior automatic detection. The Constrained U-Net addresses jointly image segmentation and regression of physical parameters, while remaining compatible with the practical constraints of real-time use. The detector is trained on simulated data and applied to real-world infrared images. On simulated images, it yields a precision of 0.98, outperforming a classical U-Net, and Max-Tree. Visual results obtained on real-world acquisitions from the WEST Tokamak illustrate the reliability of the proposed method for safety studies on hot spots.

The process relies on the Cascade R-CNN algorithm for the detection and classification and on the SORT algorithm for the tracking. The process is trained using a dataset of 325 thermal events distributed in seven classes, manually annotated from 20 infrared movies of the inside of the WEST tokamak. This dataset is created using user-friendly annotation tools, based on simple thresholding. The performance of the process is evaluated using modified indicators that emphasize the importance of the detection of the hottest zones of the hot spots. The modified mean average precision on a test dataset establishes at 27%., https://dx.doi.org/10.1088/1361-6587/ac9015, 0741-3335

Number: arXiv:1706.05721 arXiv:1706.05721 [cs]. Computer Science - Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2017, June, arXiv, Fully convolutional deep neural networks carry out excellent potential for fast and accurate image segmentation. One of the main challenges in training these networks is data imbalance, which is particularly problematic in medical imaging applications such as lesion segmentation where the number of lesion voxels is often much lower than the number of non-lesion voxels. Training with unbalanced data can lead to predictions that are severely biased towards high precision but low recall (sensitivity), which is undesired especially in medical applications where false negatives are much less tolerable than false positives. Several methods have been proposed to deal with this problem including balanced sampling, two step training, sample re-weighting, and similarity loss functions. In this paper, we propose a generalized loss function based on the Tversky index to address the issue of data imbalance and achieve much better trade-off between precision and recall in training 3D fully convolutional deep neural networks. Experimental results in multiple sclerosis lesion segmentation on magnetic resonance images show improved F2 score, Dice coefficient, and the area under the precision-recall curve in test data. Based on these results we suggest Tversky loss function as a generalized framework to effectively train deep neural networks., 10.48550/arXiv.1706.05721

To operate long plasma discharges, IR thermography is required to monitor the main plasma facing components by means of real time surface temperature measurements, while providing essential data for various physics studies. To monitor the new divertor targets, the WEST IR thermography protection system has been deeply renewed, to match the new tokamak configuration. It consists of 7 endoscopes located in upper ports viewing the whole lower divertor and the 5 heating devices. Electronic devices and computers allow data storage of ≈3 Gb/s IR images and real time video frames processing at 50  Hz rate, to ensure the protection of the main plasma facing components during plasma discharges by a feedback control of the power injected by the heating systems. Each endoscope provides 2 views covering 2 divertor sectors of 30 ° (toroidally) and 1 view of a heating antenna. Each optical line is composed of a tight entrance window followed by a head objective which forms an image transported through the endoscope by a series of 4 optical relays and mirrors, up to a camera objective. Finally, 12 IR cameras specially developed for WEST environment capture the thermographic data, at the wavelength of 3.9 μm, with a 640   ×  512 pixels frame size. The paper describes the design constraints and diagnostic technologies: optics, mechanics, electronics, hard & software, cameras. Tvhe laboratory characterization procedures (Modulation Transfer Function, slit response, calibration), and the measurement performance results are given (spatial resolution, temperature threshold). Finally, first results obtained during experimental campaigns in WEST are presented., https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0920379619304120, 0920-3796, {SI}:{SOFT}-30

The WMS uses the wall surface temperatures from 6 fields of view of the Infrared viewing system. It extracts the raw digital data from selected areas, converts it to temperatures using the calibration and write it on the shared memory network being used by the Plasma Control System (PCS). The PCS feeds back to actuators, namely the injected power from 5 antennae's of the lower hybrid and ion cyclotron resonance radiofrequency (RF) heating systems. WMS activates feed back control 63 times during C4, which is 14 % of the plasma discharges. It activates mainly as the result of a direct RF loss to the upper divertor pipes. The feedback control maintains the wall temperature within the operation envelope during 97 % of the occurrences, while enabling plasma discharge continuation. The false positive rate establishes at 0.2 %. WMS significantly facilitated the operation path to high power operation during C4, by managing the technical risks to critical wall components., https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0920379620307717, 0920-3796
