Abstract Hamiltonian parameters estimation is crucial in condensed matter physics, but is time‐ and cost‐consuming. High‐resolution images provide detailed information of underlying physics, but extracting Hamiltonian parameters from them is difficult due to the huge Hilbert space. Here, a protocol for Hamiltonian parameters estimation from images based on a machine learning (ML) architecture is provided. It consists in learning a mapping between spin configurations and Hamiltonian parameters from a small amount of simulated images, applying the trained ML model to a single unexplored experimental image to estimate its key parameters, and predicting the corresponding materials properties by a physical model. The efficiency of the approach is demonstrated by reproducing the same spin configuration as the experimental one and predicting the coercive field, the saturation field, and even the volume of the experiment specimen accurately. The proposed approach paves a way to achieve a stable and efficient parameters estimation.
