Particle and salinity sensing for the marine environment via deep learning using a Raspberry Pi

Particle and salinity sensing for the marine environment via deep learning using a Raspberry Pi
Particle and salinity sensing for the marine environment via deep learning using a Raspberry Pi
The identification of mixtures of particles in a solution via analysis of scattered light can be a complex task, due to the multiple scattering effects between different sizes and types of particles. Deep learning offers the capability for solving complex problems without the need for a physical understanding of the underlying system, and hence offers an elegant solution. Here, we demonstrate the application of convolutional neural networks for the identification of the concentration of microparticles (silicon dioxide and melamine resin) and the solution salinity, directly from the scattered light. The measurements were carried out in real-time using a Raspberry Pi, light source, camera, and neural network computation, hence demonstrating a portable and low-cost environmental marine sensor.

Abstract

The identification of mixtures of particles in a solution via analysis of scattered light can be a complex task, due to the multiple scattering effects between different sizes and types of particles. Deep learning offers the capability for solving complex problems without the need for a physical understanding of the underlying system, and hence offers an elegant solution. Here, we demonstrate the application of convolutional neural networks for the identification of the concentration of microparticles (silicon dioxide and melamine resin) and the solution salinity, directly from the scattered light. The measurements were carried out in real-time using a Raspberry Pi, light source, camera, and neural network computation, hence demonstrating a portable and low-cost environmental marine sensor.
