Abstract

This paper presents a methodology to automatically determine human blood types using image processing techniques. As a reference, in the experimental analysis it was used the plate method, being registered the results with a digital camera. The obtained images were analyzed and processed with a custom application developed with IMAQ Vision from National Instruments, allowing the automatic blood type classification of the sample under test. The implementation in health units of a system based in the presented approach will enable between others, the risk reduction of fatal transfusions associated with wrong human blood type interpretation.
