Video-Based Prediction of In-Flight Particle Characteristics in Atmospheric Plasma Spraying

arXiv:2606.07416v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) is a widely used coating process in which in-flight particle temperature and velocity strongly influence coating quality. However, these particle characteristics are difficult to monitor continuously during operation, motivating the development of non-invasive data-driven diagnostic methods. In this work, we investigate the predictive potential of high-speed video observations of the plasma plume for estimating in-flight particle characteristics in APS. We introduce three different video-derived feature represent
