Abstract
In this study, a ResNet approach based on multipolarization SHG imaging is proposed for the categorization and regression of collagen type I and II blend hydrogels at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% type II, without the need for
prior time-consuming model fitting. A ResNet model, pretrained on 18 progressive polarization SHG images at 10° intervals for each percentage, categorizes the five blended collagen hydrogels with a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.021, while the model pretrained on nonpolarization images exhibited 0.083 MAE. Moreover, the pretrained models can also generally regress the blend hydrogels at 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80% type II. In conclusion, the multipolarization SHG image-based ResNet analysis demonstrates the potential for an automated approach using deep learning to extract valuable information from the collagen matrix.
