I’m curious why this is a useful problem to solve. What is an application for this? I also, after looking for a minute, I cannot find more than a few instances of a fiber that goes under another fiber AND comes back up again. I think I would try non DL/classic segmentation techniques

One application is to be able to follow the deformation of a fiber during e.g. tensile tests in future research, to learn more about the behavior of the microstructure of the material. I honestly don't know much about the details.

Apparently, classic segmentation techniques have been tested before, but haven't worked well enough. My thesis project is basically about trying a machine learning approach, and seeing how well that can work.
