Affordable Sensor System Detects Algal Bloom in Real Time

Affordable sensor system detects algal bloom in real time

Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology has successfully developed a real-time, low-cost algal bloom monitoring system utilizing inexpensive optical sensors and a novel labeling logic. The system achieves higher accuracy than state-of-the-art AI models such as Gradient Boosting and Random Forest. The findings are published in the journal Environmental Monitoring and Assessment.

Cost-Effective Real-Time Sensor Technology for Monitoring Algal Blooms

The growing challenges posed by harmful algal blooms (HABs) are becoming increasingly urgent in contemporary water management scenarios. Algal blooms can significantly damage aquatic ecosystems, lead to health hazards for wildlife, and compromise public safety by contaminating drinking water supplies. In light of these threats, innovative solutions must be sought to detect and monitor these events in a timely and cost-effective manner. The Korea…
