Image analysis accompanying measurement

Task

An image capture system including evaluation software was developed for the development of a new test reagent for use in medical diagnostics. The system records the reagent process at high speed from two observation angles. This allows the homogeneity of the substance application and its influence on the test dynamics to be examined. In addition, a statistical evaluation of the liquid spread can be performed.

Solution approach

• Planning and setting up the camera technology used for the installation
• Software for image capture and synchronisation of video streams
• Computer vision methods: object recognition and tracking in images and videos
• Creation of an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI)
• Statistical analyses

Result

The figure shows an inhomogeneous distribution of the substances on the carrier.

The measured chemical reaction actually proceeds at different rates at different locations.
