Abstract
A system and method that identify and classify unknown microorganisms and/or known microorganisms with anomalies are provided. The system and method comprise processing images of microorganisms from an aquatic environment; extracting features from the processed images; an unsupervised partitioning algorithm for identifying and classifying known microorganisms in the aquatic environment based upon the extracted features; and a supervised classifier neural network that is trained with the unsupervised partitioning algorithm and identifies and classifies unknown microorganisms and/or known microorganisms with anomalies.
