Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of water quality monitoring. Specifically, it relates to an intelligent algae analysis method and system. Background Art

[0002] Algal density is one of the important indicators to measure the health status of water bodies. Especially in eutrophic water bodies where algal blooms occur frequently, accurately assessing algal density is crucial for water quality management and ecological protection. In recent years, with the intensification of the global water eutrophication problem, the outbreak frequency of cyanobacterial blooms has been increasing continuously, especially in important lake areas such as Taihu Lake, Chaohu Lake, and Dianchi Lake in China. These algal blooms not only seriously affect the dissolved oxygen concentration and water quality of water bodies, but also lead to the deterioration of the aquatic ecosystem, and even threaten public health and drinking water safety.

[0003] Monitoring algal density is not only of great significance for evaluating the degree of water eutrophication and predicting the timing of algal bloom outbreaks, but also plays a crucial role in aspects such as water quality protection, ecological restoration, and water resource management. For example, in eutrophic water bodies, a higher algal density often means a potential risk of algal bloom outbreaks, and at this time, taking effective water quality control measures is particularly critical. Through accurate algal density estimation, more accurate data support can be provided for water quality managers to take timely measures to control algal growth and avoid the negative impacts brought by algal blooms.

[0004] Traditional methods for monitoring algal density mostly rely on technologies such as manual microscope observation and flow cytometer analysis. Although these methods can provide information about algal species and density to a certain extent, they have many limitations. Traditional microscope methods require a large amount of manual operation, are time-consuming and prone to human errors, and are difficult to achieve large-scale and rapid monitoring; although flow cytometers can provide a relatively high processing speed, their accuracy is still insufficient to cope with the subtle differences between different algal species, and their resolution of morphological characteristics is limited, making it impossible to effectively conduct in-depth algal classification and density analysis.

This method can accurately detect and count each microalgae cell with the support of a flow cytometer through high-resolution microscopy imaging technology, thereby obtaining more detailed algal density data. Especially when combined with deep learning technologies (such as image segmentation, object detection, and classification), the detection accuracy can be significantly improved, and it can play a greater role in real-time monitoring and early warning.

These areas are not necessarily the targets automatically detected by the object detection algorithm. They may be manually selected according to the task requirements or may be subsets of the target region. For example, the region of interest may be a part of the detected target region or an area that particularly needs further processing.
