A Computational Tool for Detection and Parameters Estimation of Microbubbles Generated with Lasers in Optical Fibers

Resumen

The wide and spread range of applications using microbubbles, primarily in health and technology, have drawn new ways to create or generate those bubbles. A relative recent way for the generation of these micron-sized bubbles is by laser stimulation confined onan optic fiber. Despite of new ways of creation has been developed, the pose and speed estimation is still done by hand, and only sometimes with the help of some very simple software tools. In this paper is presented the implementation of a computational tool for microbubbles parameters estimation (size and position). Microbubbles are created over a nano particles suspensions, so the use of microscope images is required. Proposed tool is capable of directly measuring the growth of microbubbles generated by this method. The tool is based on set of common filters and algorithms used on the computer vision community. Algorithms and filters used are explained along this paper as well as some preliminary results are showed.
