Cloud-based system for water analysis |
摘要 |
A cross-platform web-based system for water testing capable of measuring, analyzing and maintaining the quality of water using a plurality of different test strip readers each configured to obtain a digital image of a reagent test strip, normalize and analyze color information in the digital image by colorimetric analysis, and to transmit a set of colorimetric values corresponding to said digital image to a cross-platform cloud-based system for analysis. The cloud-based server(s) receive the colorimetric values, calculate analyte parts-per-million (ppm), and return the calculated analyte ppm with consistant results no matter which reader is used. |

1. A cloud-based system for water testing, comprising:
a cloud computing network including at least one web-enabled computer having a processor, a computer readable non-transitory storage medium, and software comprising instructions stored on said non-transitory storage medium for receiving a set of colorimetric values corresponding to a test sample, calculating analyte parts-per-million (ppm) from said set of colorimetric values, and outputting said calculated analyte ppm; a plurality of different test strip readers chosen from among a group comprising smartphones, kiosk computers, portable digital strip readers, and remote computers, all in communication with said cloud computing network, said plurality of different test strip readers all including a processor, a computer readable non-transitory storage medium, an on-board camera, and software comprising instructions stored on said non-transitory storage medium for providing a user interface to obtain a digital image of a reagent test strip by guiding alignment of said camera relative to a reagent test strip, for normalizing and analyzing color information in the digital image by colorimetric analysis, and for transmitting a set of colorimetric values corresponding to said digital image to said cloud-based computer system for analysis. |
