A high flow rate foam analysis system includes a foam generation system, a lighting source, a detection system, and an analysis system. A foam generation system includes a first plurality of foaming units, each foaming unit comprising a foaming chamber and a gas induction mechanism. The light source illuminates the foaming chamber of each foaming unit. The detection system includes a first camera configured to temporarily store the foaming process in each foaming unit, thereby producing a first plurality of frames. The analysis system comprises: at least one processor, and a memory including instructions for (i) obtaining a respective first frame in the first plurality of frames; (ii) segmenting the respective first frame into a first plurality of segmented images, and (iii) extracting, from each segmented image, one or more characteristics of the foam, thereby facilitating high throughput foam analysis of the first plurality of solutions. |
