  • Image analysis system and method
    Patent number: 11057599
    Abstract: An image analysis system includes a video camera that collects YUV color images of a liquid sample disposed between a capital and a pedestal, the color images being collected while a light source shines light through an optical beam path between the capital and the pedestal, and a processor adapted to i) obtain from the YUV color images a grayscale component image and a light scatter component image, and ii) obtain at least one binary image of the grayscale component image and at least one binary image of the light scatter component image.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 10, 2020
    Date of Patent: July 6, 2021
    Assignee: Thermo Electron Scientific Instruments LLC
    Inventors: Alexander Grenov, Damian W. Ashmead, Kevin K. Kim, Francis J. Deck, Chris Xavier Kauffold
