摘要：Abstract A novel floc sensor prototype was tested in a Norwegian municipal wastewater treatment plant. The resulting images of flocs, captured using a specially designed software, were analysed by texture image analysis technique—grey level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). The results of image analysis were merged with the coagulation process measurement data—inlet and outlet wastewater parameters. The data based only on GLCM textural features resulted in 96.6% explained total variance by two principal components and distinguished two classes in the data—low and high outlet turbidity values. The predicted by partial least squares regression (PLSR) coagulant dosages precisely followed the reference dosages, explained Y total variance by 3 factors equals 91.8% for calibration and 77.9% for validation. Results of the studies indicate that the GLCM method and sensor prototype can be used for an improvement of coagulant dosage control. Tested sensor prototype gives a solid basis for development of the low-cost floc sensor.
