Today in Japan, with the homes built more air-tight and thermally insulated, they lack sufficient ventilation, causing higher humidity and increased condensation indoors. This type of environment fosters proliferation of mites, growth of fungi, and accumulation of house dust - all allergens - causing residents living in such homes to suffer from allergy. This report discusses a newly developed system that allows engineering evaluation of the activity of mites in order to maintain comfort in the human living space of homes and control mites, or the major indoor allergen in Japanese homes. Using an image processing technology,the system directly observes mites with its built-in camera and analyzes the observed behavior of those tiny mites and evaluates through a computer-based image processing, thereby providing engineering analysis of the influence of mites on chemicals, building materials, utilities, indoor environment, and building structure. This mite image processing system is designed to obtain a correlation between the analysis results obtained from the image data of mites and their activity and perform quantitative evaluation of the activity. It provides quick evaluation related to mites in the home environment, such as effect of mite-killing or -repelling chemicals, effect of different levels of temperature and/or humidity on mites, and the biology of mites in the home environment.
