description Abstract Foam ceramics are widely used in industrial applications due to their unique properties, including high porosity, lightweight, and high-temperature resistance. However, their complex microstructure presents significant challenges for image analysis. Traditional machine learning methods often fall short in capturing both global feature dependencies and detailed representations. To address this, a novel artificial intelligence recognition model, FD-Conv, is proposed, which combines the global information processing capabilities of Transformers with the local feature extraction strengths of convolutional neural networks. Additionally, a frequency domain block detail enhancement mechanism is introduced to improve recognition accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate that the FD-Conv model enhances recognition accuracy by at least 7.6% compared to state-of-the-art methods. Furthermore, the model effectively identifies foam ceramics with varying compositions and formulations and quantifies their microstructural phase characteristics. This research aims to advance the application of foam ceramic microstructure image analysis by improving recognition accuracy, particularly in multi-source microscopic image feature learning and pattern recognition.
