SEM images are crucial in the characterisation of material properties. These images can be very hard to interpret without any prior knowledge of the material. This paper discusses a pre-processing method for assisting convolutional Neural Networks in identifying the presence of nanoparticles in composite SEM images. The pre-processing method is developed using a synthetic SEM image.
