Modern Trends in Diatom Identification : Fundamentals and Applications, Paperback / softback Book

Modern Trends in Diatom Identification : Fundamentals and Applications Paperback / softback

Edited by Gabriel Cristobal, Saul Blanco, Gloria Bueno

Part of the Developments in Applied Phycology series

Paperback / softback

Description

High-resolution images of phytoplankton cells such as diatoms or desmids, which are useful for monitoring water quality, can now be provided by digital microscopes, facilitating the automated analysis and identification of specimens.

Conventional approaches are based on optical microscopy; however, manual image analysis is impractical due to the huge diversity of this group of microalgae and its great morphological plasticity.  As such, there is a need for automated recognition techniques for diagnostic tools (e.g. environmental monitoring networks, early warning systems) to improve the management of water resources and decision-making processes.

Describing the entire workflow of a bioindicator system, from capture, analysis and identification to the determination of quality indices, this book provides insights into the current state-of-the-art in automatic identification systems in microscopy.
