Abstract

There is still not yet available a low-cost commercial equipment to determine blood types in an emergency situation. This paper presents the development of a low cost system, based on image processing techniques, that allows the automatic determination of human blood types in emergency situations. The experimental method is based on the plate test where the serums specifics of blood types determination are mixed with the sample blood of the donor. The mixtures blood/serums are captured through a CCD camera and analyzed using the software IMAQ Vision from National Instruments. The developed image processing methodology and the obtained results are detailed. The first prototype for automatic human blood determination is presented.
