Abstract
A method for detecting a contaminant. A Fourier transform infrared scan for a section of the unconsolidated composite material is received in real time during manufacturing of the unconsolidated composite material by a composite material manufacturing system. A determination is made as to whether a contaminant is present in the section of the unconsolidated composite material in real time during manufacturing of the unconsolidated composite material by the composite material manufacturing system using the Fourier transform infrared scan and a machine learning model system trained to classify contaminants in unconsolidated composite materials using the Fourier transform infrared scan of the unconsolidated composite materials.
