Diatom Identification: a Double Challenge Called ADIAC. In: Proc. 10th Int. Conf. on Image Analysis and Processing (ICIAP'99), Venice, Italy, September 27-29, pp. 734-739, 1999.
This paper introduces the project ADIAC (Automatic Diatom Identification and Classification), which started in May 1998 and which is financed by the European MAST (Marine Science and Technology) programme. The main goal is to develop algorithms for an automatic identification of diatoms using image information: both valve shape (contour) and ornamentation. The paper presents the goals of the project as well as first results on shape modeling and contour extraction. Public data are avilable in order to create student project beyond the ADIAC partnetship. For further information see http://www.ualg.pt/adiac.
