Improvement of Interpolation Performance with Statistical Method in Total Suspended Solid Identification

Abstract

Total Suspended Solids (TSS) is one of the key parameters used to determine water quality, which can be observed through the density level of suspended particles. The determination of TSS aims to ensure that river pollution levels can be controlled to maintain good environmental quality. However, the identification of TSS is still performed manually, which requires a relatively long processing time. This condition highlights the need for an effective and efficient identification process. Based on these considerations, this study aims to develop an extraction technique to identify TSS in river water using the Interpolation Mean Square (IMS) algorithm. The development of the extraction technique within the IMS algorithm is crucial for improving the performance of linear interpolation methods. Mean Square is proposed as a parameter in the interpolation process to optimize the extraction algorithm. The segmentation process based on the performance of the IMS algorithm involves exploring and grouping image intensity values. The resulting segmented image clusters are subsequently selected based on the values produced by the Mean Square computation, which are then processed as the final segmentation output. The experimental results show an improvement in the performance evaluation results of the IMS algorithm providing an increase of 7% to 10% over the previous linear interpolation method. The evaluation results produced by the IMS algorithm are 90.19% accuracy, 99.99% sensitivity, and 83.33% specificity. These results indicate that the improved interpolation method presented in the IMS algorithm produces optimal results in determining TSS. Improving the performance of the interpolation method through the development of an IMS-based extraction technique has succeeded in producing optimal identification results. The superiority of the IMS algorithm provides novelty in the development of interpolation techniques for automated segmentation. Furthermore, the findings of this study can effectively support the West Sumatra Environmental Agency in addressing river water pollution issues.
