Abstract
A system and method for quantification ofbacteria in water is disclosed. In an embodiment, a region of interest (ROI) is obtained from an image of the water. For example, the ROI includes a plurality of pixels in the image of water contaminated withbacteria. Further, a plurality of red pixels are identified from the ROI based on a value of the plurality of pixels in the ROI and a threshold value. Furthermore, total redness of the plurality of red pixels in the ROI is calculated based on intensity of plurality of red pixels. In addition, a redness factor indicative of a degree of redness of the ROI is computed based on the calculated total redness. Quantification of thebacteria is then estimated based on the computed redness factor.
