Recent developments in image analysis and interpretation using computer vision techniques have shown potential for novel applications in microbiology laboratories to support the task of automation, aiming for faster and more reliable detection. Image processing techniques and machine learning models can be valuable tools in the screening process, helping technicians spend less time classifying no-growth results and quickly separating the categories for further analysis. In this context, creating a dataset of different bacterial strain images is a fundamental objective for developing and improving the accuracy of image processing models. Therefore, this manuscript acquired a dataset of water samples with different bacterial strain images on a petri dish following a standardized process with controlled conditions of positioning and lighting. The image acquisition device was also developed with a light-emitting diode (LED) and diffuser as a lighting source and a smartphone camera with 16 MP resolution. In addition, the present manuscript also focuses on comparing the accuracy of the proposed algorithm with the available apps and software using the custom-built imaging device. Hence, the resulting dataset consists of 100 images, which is helpful for researchers working in image processing to develop an algorithm for automated counting of bacterial colonies on petri dishes.
