Introduction

Automated droplet measurement (ADM) is developed during my PhD study on droplet-based microfluidic generation. This software addresses the bottlenecks that hamper the currently available software to perform rapid droplet measurements. The video processing software is based on OpenCV, which has much higher processing speed than MATLAB based software. The software also comes with background finding and threshold finding algorithms. This eliminates the need to perform those processes manually.

Features

  1. Speed: 
    More than 15 times faster than the MATLAB based DMV* program.
    Processes about 3000 frames in 10 seconds (520x64 pixels, Lagarith lossless video codec)

  2. Batch processing:
    Automated processing from a list of avi video files.

  3. Droplet parameters:
    24 parameters including advancing/receding angle and droplet deformation

  4. Advanced option:
    User defined image processing parameters

  5. Contour history view:
    Review tracked objects and spotting unusual tracking phenomena.
