BubbleID: Image Segmentation Model for Boiling Analysis Released on HuggingFace
On September 14, 2026, the model UARK-NED3/BubbleID was published on HuggingFace with the image-segmentation task. It is a research package for analyzing liquid–vapor boundaries in high-speed video sequences of bubble boiling.
What it means
The model is lightweight: the largest file — seg_model.pth — takes up 0.3 GB, and the repository holds about 0.4 GB of weights in pth format in total. It runs via PyTorch. The license is dryad-record-10.5061-dryad.ksn02v7gx, tied to a Dryad record. The developer has not published any quantized builds.
BubbleID combines segmentation, tracking and classification for analyzing bubbles and interfaces. The source test sequences were captured at 3000 fps in steady state and at 150 fps in transient state. For installation, launch and training materials, the author refers to the GitHub repository.
