The use of eight sensing membranes, placed on a plastic support, allows to obtain the hue component of the HSV colour space of each one in order to determinate the concentration of metals present in a solution. The developed microcontroller-based system captures, in an ambient light environment, an image of the sensor array using an integrated micro-camera and shows the picture in a touch micro-LCD screen which acts as user interface. After image-processing of the regions of interest selected by the user, colour and concentration information are displayed on the screen.}, publisher = {IOP Publishing}, title = {Handheld colorimeter for determination of heavy metal concentrations}, doi = {10.1088/1742-6596/307/1/012037}, author = {López Ruiz, Nuria and Ariza, María and Martínez Olmos, Antonio and Vukovic, Jadranka and Palma López, Alberto José and Capitán Vallvey, Luis Fermín}, }
