Deep learning-based image analysis for filamentous and floc-forming bacteria in wastewater treatment

In municipal wastewater treatment, effective secondary clarification relies on the balance between floc-forming bacteria and filamentous bacteria. Consequently, comprehensive and real-time monitoring of this balance will enable reliable operation of biological wastewater treatment. This research presents an artificial intelligence (AI)-based approach for the classification of filamentous and floc-forming bacteria in microscopic images using …
