Abstract :
This paper proposes a new method for the evaluation of activated sludge coagulation based on image processing. In order to evaluate coagulation patterns, we employ a technique based on the fractal dimension. The result shows that the coagulation process can be evaluated by the variance of fractal dimensions.
