+ | By embracing the open hardware approach and using both low- and high-level components such as Arduino microcontrollers and Raspberry Pi, we maximize the measurement device’s versatility. | ||
+ | </p> | ||
+ | The visual signals generated by the biosensor will be captured by a camera (Figure 2) and analyzed by our measurement software, ‘Measurarty’. The software uses modern region- and graph-cut-based evaluation methods to analyze the data efficiently. | ||
+ | <p> | ||
+ | The device will be finally tailored to perfectly fit the needs of end users, for example by minimizing the need for electricity. | ||
