The Challenge of Micropollutants in Aquatic Systems
René P. Schwarzenbach,Beate I. Escher,Kathrin Fenner,Thomas B. Hofstetter,C. Annette Johnson,Urs von Gunten,Bernhard Wehrli +6 more
TL;DR: There are three scientific challenges in addressing water-quality problems caused by micropollutants, and usage and disposal strategies should aim to minimize introduction of critical pollutants into the aquatic environment.

Learning a classification model for segmentation
TL;DR: A two-class classification model for grouping is proposed that defines a variety of features derived from the classical Gestalt cues, including contour, texture, brightness and good continuation, and trains a linear classifier to combine these features.
