Actuality

    Nowadays microscopes are widly used in medicine for analysis of cell structure of human body, for example: blood, lymph, mucous membranes and others. Operator have to spend big amount of time for sample consideration through the microscope ocular for getting image of a good quality. This process takes a lot of time. Creation of focusing system for optical microscope is actual and important task for today.

    My scientific work is about creation dedicaded computer system «Fokus-mikro 1.0». It is dedicated for focusing microscope on the blood strokes pictures. The goal of this work is minimization of time for investigation and making process of getting high-quality image more objective.

    For achievement this goal it is necessary to solve the following tasks:

  1. to do analysis of methods for focusing optical instruments which are used nowadays;

  2. to define criterias of high-quality image;

  3. to select test object on the picture of blood smear;

  4. to create the model for calculation of characteristic for test object;

  5. to develop the algorithm for focusing microscope (define direction of lens movement);

  6. to create software for this algorithm.

    Creation of the «Fokus-mikro 1.0» system will allow to get the high-quality image of blood smear, to minimize investigation time and also to improve working process for operator. It will help to reduce eye tension because of no need to look at the lens for a long time.

Scientific novelty

    Microscope focusing is the task about abject detection.It is necessary to distinguish good-focusing image from the image with well sfokusirovannoe image of object from the same object with degraded ages. The object on the blood smear is conditional point on the image - bacterium. It is different from surrounding because of deeper color. There is a big difference between the object which we are interested in and and its environment. On this So on the first step it is necessary to recognise the bacterium (listed below as conditional point). For analysis it is offered a set of images from the one blood smear which has been gotten at the different focal distance (i.e. at different position of microscope makro- and mikroscrews). For all conditional points which were found on every image, it is offered to do analysis based on three features:

     - total area of the object;
     - middle (or integral) brightness;
     - contrasting on the object contour.

    It is necessary to determine the edge of conditional point (cell) for estimation of these characteristics.

    Making SСS for focusing microscope it is necessary to pay attention for some factors. Above all things note should be taken on that in swingeing majority of image, got by means of microscope are characterized by the presence of noise arising up from uneven illumination insufficient cleaning of laboratory equipment, own noises fotopriemnih devices and other reasons. At the automated analysis it is necessary to take into account and to compensate the presence of noise. Otherwise influencing of noise can distort result.

Review of existent researches and developments

    The digital image processing is the independent region of knowledge, which quickly develops in many countries. With the image processing it is necessary to have business to the specialists of a different type. On questions from this region a lot of works and literatures are published, for example, Oppengeym A.V., Shafer R.V. «Digital treatment of signals», Soyfer V.A. «Computer image processing» and dr. The MatLab package is equipped in a number of functions allowing to produce treatment of signals and images.

    For the image processing вейвлет-transformations which became a necessary mathematical instrument in many researches are used also. In particular, they can be used for focusing of microscope. It is comparative easy task for veyvletov, because the calculated вейвлет-coefficients are great at the well sfokusirovannom image and strongly fall at defokusirovke microscope. At some level of permission, proper to the natural scale of image of object, this effect of defokusirovki becomes especially strong. At other level he is expressed less brightly, but becomes more asymmetric depending on that, there is a microscope higher or below than point of focusing. This property of asymmetry was used with the purpose of automation of process of focusing of microscope, as it is clear sets direction of his motion toward focusing position. Such method can be successfully applied in many other regions, rather than just in medicine.

Purpose and tasks of master's degree work

    Theme of master's degree work – «Models and the SСS algorithms focusing of microscope». The SСS planning will be conducted on a base research laboratory of NII of medical problems of family.

The purpose of the given project is:
    - obektivizatsiya process of receipt high-quality images for the decision of the put task;
    - abbreviation of time of receipt of high-quality picture bloods;
    - improvement of terms of labour of operator, namely, decline loadings on his visual vehicle due to the exception of necessity of protracted considerations of preparation through the eyepiece of microscope due to development of models and algorithms of the automatic focusing of microscope, and creation on their basis SСS.

    For achievement of the put aims in master's degree work it is necessary to decide the row of tasks: analysis of existent researches and developments; determination of criteria of sfokusirovannogo image, on the basis of what is conducted calculation of necessary descriptions and properties.

Theoretical analysis and mathematical model of object of research

Forming of entrance data


Picture 1. Chart of forming entrance data

    The prepared preparation of blood is placed on subject table microscope. At different position of makro- and mikrovintov of microscope get row of pictures of the same preparation. For developed SСS is used video camera OSCAR, connected to the personal COMPUTER by videokarti of the ASUS firm having the televisional entrance. For the capture of videoizobrageniya the program is used ASUSLIVE, which forms the shot of image of stroke of blood in the format of *.bmp and destroys him on the screen of monitor. Examples of the got images:

Generalization of results of scientific search and analysis

     As a result of implementation magistrskoy works were existent methods, algorithms and systems of focusing of microscope are considered by means of recognition of image. Their analysis allowed to define basic mathematical methods which are used for creation of specialized computer system for focusing of microscope on the pictures of strokes of blood, by a purpose which abbreviation of time and obektivizatsiya process of receipt is high-quality image. Effective ways and methods for the decision are found put task.
