Abstract:
A method for analyzing a dipstick using a smartphone is provided herein. The method includes: capturing an image containing: a dipstick having colored test reagents, and a color board having a grid of grey patches and a plurality of reference color patches; deriving, based on the grid, local illumination parameters associated with the colored test reagents and the plurality of reference color patches; determining whether illumination parameters are sufficient for interpreting the colored test reagent; in a case the illumination parameters are insufficient, notifying a user that an interpretation of the colored test reagents is not possible, otherwise, applying one or more image enhancement operation to the captured image, based on an analysis of the grid of grey patches, to yield enhanced reference color patches; and interpreting the one or more colored test reagents, by projecting the colored test reagents onto a vector of the enhanced reference color patches.

Claim (Index 20):
A computer program product comprising:\n a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program embodied therewith, the computer readable program comprising: a computer readable program configured to instruct a user equipment (UE) having specified image capturing and processing capabilities, to capture an image of a dipstick having one or more colored test reagents, positioned on a calibration array having a plurality of colored calibration elements, wherein said plurality of sets of colored calibration elements reflects a plurality of: illumination conditions, capturing capabilities of potential UEs and response functions of capturing devices of the potential UEs; a computer readable program configured to derive, based on the colored calibration elements in the captured image, local illumination parameters associated with the captured image of the dipstick and the calibration array; a computer readable program configured to determine whether the local illumination parameters are within a predefined illumination boundary which is sufficient for interpreting the one or more colored test reagents, given the specified image capturing and processing capabilities of the UE; a computer readable program configured to apply one or more image enhancement operation to the captured image, to yield an enhanced image, based on predefined mapping between the derived local illumination parameters and one or more required adjustments; a computer readable program configured to normalize illumination of the captured image based on the local illumination parameters; and a computer readable program configured to interpret the one or more colored test reagents, based on the normalized illumination parameters and the colored calibration elements, in the enhanced image.
