The effect of mobile camera selection on the capacity to predict water turbidity

Recently, cameras of mobile have phones emerged as an alternative for quantifying water turbidity. Most of these studies lack a strategy to determine the water turbidity for new samples, focusing mainly on one particular device. Nevertheless, widespread use of these approaches requires a predictive...
