Abstract:
This paper is about automatic recognition of haemolysis in transfusion bag. Currently, haemolysis in blood bag is recognized by a visual estimation. Nurses compare the colour of blood plasma with reference samples and according to their own opinion they evaluate whether blood plasma is damaged or not. The parameter for the comparison is colour. The best is to use image sensors – camera or video camera for analysis. Software that is designed in MATLAB programming environment is able to evaluate colour of blood plasma according to the reference samples. Determination of colour is done in three colour spaces, namely, RGB, Lab, and xyY.
