IMAGE PROCESSING BASED MOBILE ANTIBIOTICS SENSITIVITY TEST (MAST) APPLICATION

In Antibiotic Sensitivity test (Kirby-Bauer test), bacteria applied on a Petri dish is subjected to various antibiotics. The inhibition zone is a circular area around the spot of antibiotic in which the bacteria is not encroaching into the region. Clinicians have to measure the radius of inhibition...

Description
Summary:In Antibiotic Sensitivity test (Kirby-Bauer test), bacteria applied on a Petri dish is subjected to various antibiotics. The inhibition zone is a circular area around the spot of antibiotic in which the bacteria is not encroaching into the region. Clinicians have to measure the radius of inhibition zone manually and they have numerous of sample to deal with everyday which can prompt to error. The process of measuring the radius of the antibiotic can be automated using image processing-based algorithm. In this work, an algorithm will be developed using open source library (OpenCV library) which will investigate image processing and circle detection.
