We demonstrate and analyze a new methodology for detecting and characterizing shocks in high energy density physics (HEDP) experiments using simulated radiographs. Our method consists of simulating many variations of an HEDP experiment using a multi-physics modeling code developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory. These simulations are then used to produce synthetic radiographs that emulate the actual experimental data collection setup. Shock contours are defined by the peaks of the density derivative values obtained at each radial coordinate of an x-rayed cylindrical object, giving us a ground truth of shock position that would not be available directly from the observed radiograph. Convolutional neural networks are then trained on our simulations, mapping radiograph to shock structure. We investigate four different state-of-the-art deep convolutional neural networks, Xception, ResNet152, VGG19, and U-Net, for use in regressing the HEDP radiograph to the shock position. It is demonstrated that our neural network approach offers a highly accurate shock locator. We find that the different network architectures are better tuned for locating distinct shock characteristics, equivalent to detecting shockwaves at multiple scales. Differences are quantified by ranking the four architectures by their overall performance accuracy. The regression model based on the Xception architecture is found to yield the highest accuracy. In order to understand limitations of these techniques to external perturbations in the experimental setup we also apply our trained networks to shock location in the presence of Gaussian and Flatfield noise. We find that the network shock-locations are surprisingly robust to noise giving confidence that they will perform well on experimental data.
