Abstract
Serial-dilution method is used for estimating the concentration of unknown sample by counting the number of bacterial colonies cultured and then backtracking the measured counts to the unknown concentration. This process is time-consuming, error prone and cause eye fatigue. This paper proposes an automatic colony counter with captured image using webcam camera and uses Raspberry Pi for processing with capturing, thresholding, circular Hough transform, watershed segmentation and displaying results number of colonies on culture media.
