Abstract:
This paper describes a digital system designed for the automatic detection and measurement of the velocity of moving objects in images acquired by means of a common TV-camera mounted onto a microscope. The main real-time features are: • it can perform a real-time grey level difference between two successive frames in order to detect moving objects • it stores the images in the frame memory • it performs an automatic labelisation in order to recognise the moving micro-organisms • it calculates the area of the cells moving in the microscope field • it completes the analysis in few seconds.
