Automatic object detection, classification and statistical treatment of series of images
MMC MultiMeter comprises all the functions of the MultiMedia Catalog database with additional set of tools for image analysis.
MMC MultiMeter can be applied in medicine (histology, cytology), life science, material science (particle analysis, phase analysis), food industry, production quality control etc.
We can provide complete solution and recommend you a camera from our product line of digital microscope cameras or produce a customized solution for you.

Object detection (segmentation, binarization)
We have implemented two tools for object detection:
If objects of microscopic analysis are not particles of various shapes but extended areas of the image with large area and complex shapes and types of objects are known in advance (e.g., rock structure components in geology, stained tissue areas in histology), MMC MultiMeter offers special mode uniting detection and classification - phase analysis. The user provides the number and names of classes and assigns detected image areas to object classes. There is also a tool for applications like NCR (nuclear-cell ratio, object inside another object).
Some tasks require restriction of the area in which the analysis is being performed. E.g., estimation of growth of bacteria colonies respective to Petri dish in which they are placed. MMC MultiMeter provides a frame drawing tool to define the image segmentation area. Furthermore, complex areas selected with object detection tool can be used as multiple frame.
- a simple one where you point to the image areas that belong to the objects of your microscopic analysis
- an enhanced tool for image segmentation based on both color and greyscale levels.

Concentration
The software provides special tool for estimation of concentration of objects in the specimen:
- Calculation of volume concentration and weight concentration per volume units.
- Assigning counting chamber depth.
- Considering dilution factor.
- Considering medium density and object density.
- Calculation result in chosen units of measure (grams per kilogram, grams per ton) is automatically sent to a reserved database field.
Object classification
Two types of classifiers are implemented in MMC MultiMeter:
Particle Size Analysis
There is a special mode in our software for different types of particle size tests with wide size ranges, which require using two magnifications.
- classification based on known class limits. The user chooses required parameters and inputs the values dividing the classes. This type of classifier can be trained by assigning classes to objects on image.
- statistical classifier. If a statistical classifier is used, the software utilizes mean values of the selected parameters and their dispersion. This type of classifier can be trained by leaving only objects of certain class on one image or based on statistical data from a series of images of one object class.
Particle Size Analysis
There is a special mode in our software for different types of particle size tests with wide size ranges, which require using two magnifications.
Example object classification
On the left is an image of blood cells before applying the classifier. On the right is an image of already classified blood cells into erythrocytes and platelets.
Measurements and analysis on video
MMC MultiMeter software for microscope can work with images as well as make measurements of different parameters on videos.
One of the tasks for medical microscopy consists in determination of beat frequency of respiratory cilia in ciliated epithelium (image #1-3). Normally, cilia beat in a coordinated manner with a specific frequency range, which results in effective clearing of mucus and debris from the airways. Ineffective movement disturbs mucociliary clearance and leads to ciliary dyskinesia. It can be the cause of sinusitis, recurrent chest infections.
For diagnosis of ciliary dyskinesia with MMC MultiMeter, a video of beating cilia is recorded at the frame rate sufficient for the analysis (maximum frequency that could be measured equals half of the camera frame rate). At the first video frame, measurement markers are set in the required area (at the edge of the front of beating cilia). The software detects brightness fluctuations caused by beating cilia entering and leaving the marker, and classifies the objects according to class limits set in the classifier. Sufficient Time of video recording and measurement precision can be controlled on brightness fluctuation graphs, which are automatically generated for every marker.
The same tool can be effectively used for estimation of the frequency of any processes of technological or biological origin.
