Abstract:
A particle classifier system and a method of training the system are described. The particle classifier system is suitable for classification of particles in a liquid sample, said particle classifier system comprises an optical detection assembly comprising at least one image acquisition device with an optical axis, the image acquisition device is configured to acquire images of an image acquisition area perpendicular to said optical axis; a sample device comprising at least one sample container suitable for holding a sample in liquid form; a translating arrangement configured to translate said image acquisition area through at least a part of said sample container; a control system configured to controlling said optical detection assembly and said translating unit to acquire images of a plurality of image acquisition areas; an image analyzing processing system programmed to analyze said acquired images by a method comprising creating objects (sub-images) of individual particles captured by said acquired images, creating stacks of objects of each individual particle, identifying complete stacks of objects comprising at least one object wherein said particle is in-focus, and two objects wherein said particle is out-of-focus, and determining, for each of said complete stacks of objects, a set of values for a set of features of at least N features, wherein N is larger than or equal to 1, and wherein the determination of said values of said set of features involve data obtained from said at least one object wherein said particle is in-focus, and/or said at least two objects wherein said particle is out-of-focus; and      an artificial intelligent processing system programmed to associate said set of values for said determined set of features for each individual particle to a particle classification.

Claim (Index 5):
A method of creating objects of individual particles in a water sample held in a sample container, the method comprising:\n translating an image acquisition area, formed by an image acquisition device and corresponding lens in the sample container, to multiple positions in the sample container, the image acquisition area being perpendicular to an optical axis of the lens; acquiring images of the image acquisition area at the multiple positions in the sample container; determining a set of features for an individual particle in the water sample captured by the acquired images by creating objects of the individual particle, wherein creating the objects of the individual particle comprises:\n copying all pixels within an object periphery line surrounding the individual particle; and \n subjecting said copied pixels to a filtration in at least one filter comprising a shape-filter, a size-filter, a contrast-filter or an intensity filter.
