OvaSpec  A vision-based instrument for assessing concentration and developmental stage of Trichuris suis parasite egg suspensions
A scalable, objective method for in-process drug testing was developed. OvaSpec automatically assess concentration and embryonation percentage of TSO. Algorithms were tested on a large, annotated dataset of 42,894 eggs in 2970 images. Darkfield scattering and larval morphology enables classification accuracies of 99%. Computer vision agrees with manual microscopy but has superior precision.
