Ascertaining type list for liquid sample examintion - using imaging pick=up and localising appts. for recognising and locating object within registered image data to enable automatic output from identifying appts.

摘要

The method includes optical detection of the sample (13) as a result of image data; identification and location of the objects (14) in the detected image data; and the automatic identifying of the located objects (14) by the automatic comparison of the respective located object, with a determined group of reference objects. The reference objects are selected from a large group of reference objects on the basis of the coarse characteristics of the located objects (14), obtained from the image data. The identified objects (14) are counted according to the respective types; and the counted objects (14) are entered in the type list (48). The system for carrying out the method includes a camera type system (16), a locating unit (40), an identifying unit (44) and a counter (46). USE/ADVANTAGE - Ecosystem investigations. Subjective analysis is excluded. Automatic identification and analysis of specimens including bacteria from 1 micron size. Cluster of objects can be examined with background taken into consideration.
