Online System for Bubble Images

This paper presents a system for image analysis and pattern recognition of bubbles. The system was designed and developed on Microsoft Windows on PC computer. To make the system work efficiently both in laboratory and in the plant, we designed and developed a flexible Windows platform which mainly consists of image acquisition, image processing, bubble delineation, bubble analysis and modeling, and interface between different computers in use. Hundreds of functions for bubble analysis and statistics are included in the system, especially in the bubble delineation part. A number of newly-developed algorithms can delineate bubbles with high accuracy and high speed, and in the bubble analysis part, each bubble can be characterized by 50-60 parameters that can also be used for constructing bubble models directly in a Windows platform environment
