Understandting soft matter through the use of novel biophysical tools

Abstract

Pollen detection is an ongoing topic reviewed nowadays. This substance's impact on human healthcare is high, causing diseases, allergies and asthma. The principal limitation is the necessity of post-processing the laboratory. In this project, we propose to use a not usual tool in this field. With its high-information images, Holography may give us the difference when trying to recognize pollen grains. Combined with the powerful processing technique of computer vision, this project could be the first step in the in-live recognition of pollen. It can be ampliated to recognize another type of aerosols.
