Identifying algae cells
Provectus Algae
Computer vision that identifies algae cells across microscopes of any resolution, magnification and lighting. We helped patent the automated cell analyser behind it.

The challenge
Images come from different microscopes, so resolution, magnification and lighting change from one sample to the next. The algorithm has to work regardless.
What we did
- Computer vision algorithms that identify algae cells
- Detection quality across different microscopes
- Lower compute needed to run the solution
The result
