specific Embodiment approach 1

[0032] Embodiment 1: The automatic positioning method of different micropipette tips in the automatic microinjection system of the present embodiment comprises the following steps:

[0033] Step 1. Collect the original image under the microscope. where the original image as figure 2 shown.

[0034] Step 2. Preprocessing the original image to obtain a noise-reduced image.

[0035] Step 3: Process the noise-reduced image with a filter, and perform pixel value difference between the obtained image and the noise-reduced image to obtain a difference image. The purpose of this step is to deepen the part of the needle tip with strong directionality, so that the background part does not change significantly, and then the approximate position of the needle tip can be obtained, such as image 3 shown.

[0036] Step 4, determine a predetermined number of maximum connected regions in the difference image; each of the maximum connected regions is used to characterize the region where ...

specific Embodiment approach 2

[0043] Specific implementation mode two: the difference between this implementation mode and specific implementation mode one is: in step two, the preprocessing includes:

[0044] Step 2.1, reduce noise in the image through a low-pass Gaussian filter.

[0045] Step 2.2, using global binarization to remove noise caused by impurities in the petri dish in the field of view of the microscope.

[0046] Other steps and parameters are the same as those in Embodiment 1.

specific Embodiment approach 3

[0047] Specific embodiment three: the difference between this embodiment and specific embodiment one or two is:

[0048] In step 3, the filter is a Gabor filter. The Gabor filter can amplify the direction information, which is more in line with the requirements of the present invention.

[0049] Other steps and parameters are the same as those in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2.

Abstract

The invention relates to an automatic positioning method and device for the tips of different micropipettes in an automatic microinjection system, and belongs to the field of automatic microinjection systems. separation, which leads to the disadvantage of being unable to accurately locate the position of the needle tip of the holding needle, and proposes an automatic positioning method for different micropipette tips in an automatic microinjection system, including: preprocessing the collected original images; Make the pixel value difference between the filtered image and the noise-reduced image; determine the maximum number of connected regions; make the circumscribed rectangle of the connected region, and determine the average position of the two intersection points between the circumscribed rectangle and the image boundary as the root position of the needle tip; The distance between all points in the contour and the root position, and the angle between the line segment connected to the root position and the horizontal axis of the image; make a distance curve, and determine the tip position of the needle tip according to the curve. The invention is suitable for automatic microinjection of organisms.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automatic positioning method and device for tips of different micropipettes in an automatic microinjection system, belonging to the field of automatic microinjection systems. Background technique [0002] In biological experiments and medical research, injection technology is playing an increasingly important role, so people have begun to continuously research and explore automatic microinjection technology. In the automatic microinjection system, the image of the microscope is mainly used as the feedback signal, and the micropipette operated by the mechanical arm is used as the main body to operate the objects in the field of view. Among them, micropipettes, namely glass needles, can be divided into injection needles and suction needles due to their different shapes and uses. [0003] In the process of automatic microinjection, it is first necessary to determine the exact positions of multiple micropipettes with different ...
