Abstract
A distance-transform based technique is presented for the segmentation of monochrome images of colonies grown on membrane filters. This is u sed to count the number of Escherichia coli in a given water sample, w hich is used as a parameter for determining water quality. The result is compared with fuzzy c-means clustering approach.
