The Challenge

Traditional water quality testing has significant limitations:

  • Inconsistent manual observations
  • Slow processing times
  • Poor pollution tracking capabilities
  • Limited scalability

The Solution

I developed an automated system using advanced graph theory and image processing techniques to provide fast, accurate water quality classification.

Key Features

  • Smart edge pruning for efficient graph processing
  • Adaptive superpixels for intelligent image segmentation
  • Real-time progress tracking with accurate progress bar
  • Robin Hood probing for optimized hash table performance
  • Alpha-based similarity detection for contamination trends
  • Multiple contamination levels (undrinkable, contaminated, dirty)

Technical Highlights

  • Implemented complex graph algorithms (MST, Graph Edit Distance)
  • Designed scalable architecture for image processing pipeline
  • Optimized performance for real-time detection
  • JavaFX-based intuitive user interface
  • Custom data structures for memory efficiency

What I Learned

This project pushed me to implement advanced algorithms I’d only seen in textbooks. I learned about:

  • Graph theory practical applications
  • Image processing optimization techniques
  • Memory-efficient data structure design
  • UI/UX for scientific applications
