Research Projects

There are several research and educational projects that use Elphel cameras. Some are already active, others just starting or only in planning stage. We believe that scientific research is the application area where the open nature of our products is the most beneficial. The shortage of the powerful and at the same time open and flexible hardware was that "itch" that led me to start Elphel.

This page is started to provide resources to those who already uses or plans to use Elphel cameras. This is wiki, so please feel free to add you project description/link below.--Andrey.filippov 14:59, 29 April 2007 (CDT)

Antibiotic sensitivity diagrams

The camera is programmed as an Ajax server, using PHP and Javascript, for antibiotic sensitivity testing. The dishes are incubated with a bacterial culture and sample antibiotics impregnating small disks. After 18 hours of incubation, the antibiotic creates a halo around each disk, which indicates how effective the particular antibiotic is against the specific culture.

The application in the camera is web based, using the canvas Javascript element to display the image. The image processing application determines the diameter of the halo, and therefrom determines the minimum inhibitory concentration and therapeutic index, which is information that the physician uses to prescribe an antibiotic for the patient.
