In this study, new experimental information on the evolution of dry spots under vapor bubbles during liquid boiling was obtained using high-speed reflected light imaging, and an algorithm for automatic processing of experimental data based on U-Net convolutional neural networks was developed. It is shown that it is possible using machine learning models and high-precision optical high-speed methods to determine a wide range of characteristics of dry spots during liquid boiling in a short period of time and with high accuracy, including the evolution of the total area and size of dry spots, total number, and the growth rate and lifetimes of dry spots in a wide range of heat fluxes. Based on the analysis of the collected data, it was established that the average total area of dry spots and the nucleation site density during boiling of water increase linearly with increasing heat flux in the studied range.
