Digital imaging method: The prepared standard solutions are lined Up along with unknown
concentration sample and blank. Using a white paper as background, take « photograph of the
samples by holding the camera around $0 cm away. The calibration curve will be constructed
through the RGB values of analytical response with different concentration of Fe* ions using
smartphone app (RGB Tool). In the plotted graph, RGB response varies linearly vs the
analyte concentration. In order to get precise analysis, follow the steps given below:
Transfer prepared standard solution and unknown solution
into different colorimetric test tubes
Take image of all test tube solution
using smart phone camera
Open the image processing app
Go to gallery, open the image stored in app and
extract RGB values for each image/cone.
Process the RGB values (R/G) or (R/B) or (G/B)
etc., till to get linear response
Plot the calibration curve using RGB linear
response vs concentration
Find the unknown cone using the
calibration curve
