The FolsomiaCounter software facilitates evaluation of ecotoxicology soil tests that are based on the reproduction of springtail Folsomia candida.
By its high degree of automation (automatic vessel detection, automatic individual counting, and automatic body length measurement of Folsomia candida) the manual evaluation effort is reduced from manual counting of individuals to simple visual inspection of the results.
The software further applies the visual analytics methodology combining the vast processing power of computers with the excellent recognition and reasoning capabilities of human investigators.
This combination provides an excellent overview of the results of the automatic methods.
A variety of data export capabilities (PDF, JSON and CSV) allow for further analysis in external statistics software (such as SPSS, SAS, or MS Excel) and provide reports ready for QA. Various consistency checks and a modern graphical user interface contribute to the usability and user-friendliness of the software.
The FolsomiaCounter was designed and developed in tight cooperation with a leading company in the area of ecotoxicology soil tests. It is available for Windows and Linux platforms.
