The development of automated colony counter using image processing

영상 처리방식 자동 미생물 콜로니 계수장비 개발

A colony counting on a petri-dish is a laborious task in microbiology fields that automated counting systems are needed. But lots of such systems are high price that majorities of labs rely on the manual counting and it is a time consuming and laborious job. In this study, an attempt was made to select the relative atmospheric correction method for the water quality factors extraction from the satellite image data. And also, the time-series analysis of the water quality factors was performed by using the multi-temporal image data. The result shows that the proposed method can be commercialized with low prices.
