Why count bubbles

Bubble count tell about rate of reaction

Lateral movement of bubble in bubble column react

This is done 3 steps

Using Fourier Counts
Using Support Vector Regression
Using contour validation using SVM

Fourier counts
It is applied to full image to
find count using gradients.
Image is divided into patches
Counts in each patches is
estimated using gradient in
images

Fourier transform of image

Support Vector regression

It is trained with image datasets with label counts
In the each patch of image counts is predicted by SVR
Total counts in the image will be summation of counts in
each patches

Contours detection and validation

Contours are found in the image
Circular contours are extracted and validated by SVM
Valid contours are send for counts
