[0035] As Figure 2As shown, the clamping jaws 52 extend along an arc shape, and the two clamping jaws 52 can be relatively arranged to form a shuttle-shaped structure, so that when the two clamping jaws 52 are close to each other to hold and fix the mouse, the shooting mechanism 3 can shoot the mouse from the shuttle-shaped hole between the two clamping jaws 52, thereby avoiding the clamping jaws 52 from blocking the mouse and affecting the shooting effect, and the two ends of the clamping jaws 52 are provided with tooth claws 521, and the tooth claws 521 of the two clamping jaws 52 are arranged in a staggered manner, so that through the cooperation of the tooth claws 521 on the two clamping jaws 52, the limbs and head of the mouse can be locked, and the influence on shooting caused by the forced movement of the mouse can be avoided.

[0039] In summary, the first adjusting mechanism 2 (camera 31 position and angle adjustment) and the second adjusting mechanism 4 (mouse movement and posture adjusting mouse platform 51) cooperate to realize high-precision and automated mouse tumor length and short axis measurement. The rotating slide assembly 23 in the first adjusting mechanism 2 can drive the shooting mechanism 3 (such as the camera 31 equipped with a telecentric lens 32) to swing flexibly in the vertical plane, so as to adjust the best shooting angle for different mouse positions and tumor positions, and ensure the accuracy and repeatability of the measurement image.

[0040] At the same time, the six-degree-of-freedom motion platform is designed in combination with the first adjusting mechanism 2 with vertical swinging capability, so that the experimental personnel can flexibly adjust the relative spatial relationship between the camera 31 and the mouse according to the actual tumor position, realize tumor image collection in different directions and angles, significantly improve the applicability and data accuracy of the measurement, reduce the dependence on the operation experience of the experimental personnel, and greatly optimize the automation and standardization process of tumor measurement.

[0042] In this embodiment, the steps of obtaining the length and short axis length of the mouse tumor according to the photographed image include:

[0043] S1, visual calibration.

[0044] Before measurement, the entire vision system needs to be calibrated to establish the conversion relationship between pixel coordinates and physical world coordinates. Specifically, a size known calibration board (such as a glass plate with precise grid or circle dots) is placed on the working distance, photographed by the shooting mechanism 3, and the processing module analyzes the image of the calibration board to calculate the actual physical size represented by each pixel (for example, the calibration coefficient is 0.01 mm / pixel). Among them, since the telecentric lens 32 is used, the pixel to millimeter calibration ratio is constant within a large depth of field range, which will not change due to the slight change of the working distance, thereby ensuring the measurement accuracy.

[0045] S2, image acquisition.

[0046] The experimenter triggers the shooting through the foot switch, and the image is captured by the camera 31 and transmitted to the processing module in real time.

[0047] S3, image processing and analysis.

[0048] S31, identify the tumor area. After receiving the image, the processing module runs the image processing algorithm to identify the contour of the tumor, which includes automatic identification and manual assistance. Among them, the automatic identification is to use edge detection algorithm (such as Canny, Sobel algorithm), threshold segmentation or deep learning model (such as U-Net) to automatically outline the boundary of the tumor, and the manual assistance is that the experimenter manually selects or corrects the contour of the tumor on the display through the mouse to deal with complex or unclear situations.

[0049] S32, calculate the long and short axes. After determining the tumor contour, the long and short axes of the tumor are automatically calculated by the calculation algorithm. Among them, the long axis is the longest distance between any two points in the contour, and the short axis is usually defined as the widest distance perpendicular to the long axis direction. Specifically, the calculation algorithm can use algorithms such as "rotating caliper method" to efficiently find the size, while allowing the experimenter to manually correct the position on the display through the mouse.

[0050] S4, length calculation and data output of long and short axes of tumor.

[0051] The processing module multiplies the pixel length of the long and short axes measured by the calibration coefficient (mm / pixel) obtained in step S1 vision calibration step, to calculate the actual physical length (millimeter) of the long and short axes of the tumor. The final result can be displayed on the screen and can be automatically saved to the database for subsequent tumor volume estimation (for example, using the formula V=(long axis x short axis²) ÷ 2) and data analysis.

[0052] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present application are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the implementation modes of the present application. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made on the basis of the above description. Here, it is not necessary and also impossible to exhaust all the implementation modes. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application claims.
