This invention belongs to the fields of mechanical
automation and
machine vision recognition technology. It discloses a stability heating test
system and method for automated
test tube extraction and boundary recognition. The
system includes a mechanical motion and gripping unit, a heating and
temperature control unit, a
machine vision recognition unit, and a central
control unit. It enables automatic placement and retrieval of test tubes between the placement and heating positions, precise control of the test temperature and over-temperature protection, and automatic recognition of the endpoint of test paper color change based on
machine vision. The method achieves intelligent determination and alarm of the color change endpoint through
image acquisition and
processing, multi-
test tube positioning, test paper area extraction, and color
similarity analysis based on HSV
color space and
Mahalanobis distance. This invention solves the problems of low efficiency, large subjective error, and high safety risks in traditional manual operation, realizing full
automation, digitalization, and unmanned operation of the stability heating test process, and improving the accuracy and
repeatability of test results.
