Publication number: 20230349835Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for synthesizing a diamond using a diamond synthesis machine. A processor receives a plurality of images of a diamond during synthesis within a diamond synthesis machine, each of the plurality of images captured within a time period. The processor executes a diamond state prediction machine learning model using the plurality of images to obtain a predicted data object, the predicted data object indicating a predicted state of the diamond within the diamond synthesis machine at a time subsequent to the time period. The processor detects a predicted defect, a number of defects, defect types, and/or sub-features of such defects and/or other characteristics (e.g., a predicted shape, size, and/or other properties of predicted contours for the diamond and/or pocket holder) of the predicted state of the diamond. The processor adjusts operation of the diamond synthesis machine.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicants: FRAUNHOFER USA, INC., UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, COLLEGE PARKInventors: Rohan Reddy MEKALA, Matthias MUEHLE, Adam PORTER, Mikael LINDVALL, Michael BECKER
