Summary
An automated particle recognition algorithm was implemented to speed up the identification and measurement of microplastics in Raman spectroscopy images. Automated analysis reduces the time and subjectivity involved in manual microplastic counting, improving research efficiency.
The implementation of Otsu’s algorithm and an additional watershed transform enables the recognition and morphological characterization of microplastic particles.
