Ecological Systems and Devices Annotation << Back OPTICAL TOOLS FOR THE WATER QUALITY DIAGNOSTICS V.F. Krapivin, F.A. Mkrtchyan This article proposes new optical tools for the water quality diagnosis in the regime of real time what except traditional physics-chemical analyses of water samplings. Optical decision making system is developed to be as an operative tool for the water quality assessment for natural water objects directly in-situ. Three versions of this system are represented using 8-and 35-channels of photometrical devices and 128-channel spectroelipsometric device. Spectral images delivered by these devices are base for the water quality diagnosis using algorithms for the spectral images recognition. Four algorithms are developed to recognize optical spectral images of the water objects. Efficiency of optical tools is shown on the sites of the water quality control for series of the water bodies functioning in different climatic conditions. Results on the determination of different contaminants in surface water of these water bodies are presented. Keywords: spectral image; water body; algorithm; diagnosis; water quality.
