Online and Interactive Environment for Biospeckle Laser Analysis Built in Javascript

Abstract

The dynamic laser speckle, or biospeckle laser, is a reliable technique for monitoring activity in biological and non-biological material. The applications in agriculture are related to seed analysis, fruits maturity, identification of fungi, root growing among many other. However, despite the proved reliability as a sensitive, fast and objective sensor its adoption by new users demands computational knowledge, that in some cases presents as a limitation. Following a tendency of web-based solutions devoted to the dissemination of science, this work developed an online and interactive environment for analysing the BSL datasets by means of an accessible human-machine interface (HMI) using the JavaScript language, and adopting remote computing in the graphic cards of the users’ computers. The environment was hosted by a web-site devoted to BSL and the results presented the feasibility of use developed tool in analysing all sort of BSL datasets. Particularly, in this work, the dataset of a coffee seed was analysed as an example.
