System includes embedded processing module, CMOS camera, 670nm laser diode and optionally WiFi module for connecting to external image storage system. Due to small size, system could be fully placed in laboratory incubator with constant humidity and temperature. By using laser diode, Petri dish with microorganisms’ substrate is illuminated with speckle pattern. Embedded camera and processing system obtain images and stores them for processing with neural network. Neural network utilizes “3D ConvNets” architecture with ability to encode not only spatial speckle variance, but also their changes in time. Convolutive approach allows significantly reduce the number of trained parameters, therefore reducing training and detection time. Neural network training used 200 bacteria colonies and additional 300 areas without bacteria. In the result, trained neural network reaches 0.95 accuracy score, that proves correctness of the approach. |
