DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

The present application embodiment provides a sample identification system. Referring to FIG. 1 , the sample identification system includes: a controller 101, a rotating device 102, and an image acquisition device 103 coupled to the controller 101. The image acquisition device 103 may be a camera, such as an industrial camera. The image acquisition device 103 may be directly coupled, for example, the image acquisition device 103 is connected to the controller 101 through a universal serial bus (USB), a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI), etc., or the controller 101 and the image acquisition device 103 may be indirectly coupled, for example, the controller 101 is connected to the image acquisition device 103 through an intermediate device or other device.

The rotating device 102 is used to drive the sample container to rotate in a vertical direction;

An image acquisition device 103, configured to acquire at least an image including a barcode and/or a serial code on the outside of the sample container when the rotating device drives the sample container to rotate;

The controller 101 is configured to determine the sample information of the sample container according to a first recognition result of the barcode, if the barcode can be successfully recognized based on at least one image containing the barcode on the outside of the sample container acquired by the image acquisition device; and to recognize the serial code based on at least one image containing the serial code on the outside of the sample container acquired by the image acquisition device, if the barcode cannot be successfully recognized based on at least one image containing the barcode on the outside of the sample container acquired by the image acquisition device, and determine the sample information of the sample container according to a second recognition result of the serial code.

Here, the rotating device 102 can drive the sample container to rotate in a vertical direction, for example, to rotate 360 degrees in a vertical direction. The image acquisition device 103 can take a picture of the sample container during the process of the sample container rotating in the vertical direction to obtain an image containing the barcode and/or serial code on the outside of the sample container, that is, to perform rotational scanning or rotational photography on the same sample container; different images taken by the image acquisition device 103 for the same sample container have images with different shooting perspectives or different shooting angles. The image acquisition device 103 can directly transmit all images of the sample container to the controller 101, or transmit all images of the sample container to other devices for storage, and the controller 101 can obtain the image of the sample container from other devices. Furthermore, the image acquisition device 103 saves the captured image of the sample container to a set storage path of the image acquisition device 103 or other electronic device, and the controller 101 obtains and saves the image of the sample container from the set storage path. Actual When applied, a corresponding folder can be created for each sample container, and the images of the sample containers can be stored in the corresponding folders respectively, so as to realize the distinction between the images of different sample containers. In addition, the image acquisition device 103 stores all the images of a sample container captured into the set storage path each time. After the controller 101 acquires all the images of the sample container from the set storage path, the controller 101 can clear all the images under the set storage path. Thereafter, the image acquisition device 103 stores all the images of another sample container captured into the set storage path, so as to realize the image reading of the sample container one by one.

In practical applications, the sample container can be understood as a transparent or translucent container for loading samples, which can be a blood collection tube, a test tube, a sample tube, a sampling tube, a test tube, a bottle, a sample cup, etc. The sample loaded in the sample container includes a blood sample, and the blood sample can be a serum sample or a plasma sample, and a reagent for detection can be added to the blood sample. A label is pasted or attached to the surface of the sample container, which is used to mark or record relevant information of the sample in the sample container. The label may include identification information of the sample in the sample container, such as a barcode, or a serial code composed of letters and/or numbers. The serial code can also be understood as a serial number, and the barcode can also be called a barcode, which is composed of a group of black and white bars of different thicknesses.

In actual application, the duration of the image acquisition device 103 taking pictures of the sample container needs to be greater than or equal to the duration required for the sample container to rotate one circle or 360 degrees, so as to ensure that the image acquisition device 103 can acquire images of the sample container from different shooting angles or shooting perspectives during the sample container's rotation. Considering that the image acquisition device 103 is prone to motion artifacts when photographing a moving object, in the scenario of rotational photography, in order to ensure that the image acquisition device 103 can obtain clear images of the sample container at different shooting angles during the sample container's rotation, further, the exposure duration and/or shooting frequency of the camera have a set corresponding relationship or mapping relationship with the rotation speed of the rotating mechanism. Here, different rotation speeds of the rotating device 102 correspond to different exposure durations, and/or different rotation speeds of the rotating device 102 correspond to different shooting frequencies. The rotation speed of the rotating device 102 can be determined based on the recognition speed of the label on the sample container; of course, the rotation speed of the rotating device 102 can be determined based on the recognition speed of the label on the sample container; The rotation speed of 102 may also be a set rotation speed. The exposure duration may also be understood as the exposure time. In order to ensure that the image acquisition device 103 can capture a clear image, the exposure duration of the image acquisition device 103 is less than or equal to the quotient of the precision of the image acquisition device 103 and the rotation speed of the rotating device 102. The precision of the image acquisition device 103 may also be referred to as pixel precision, which is equal to the quotient of the one-way field of view of the camera and the one-way resolution. In practical applications, the shooting frequency may be replaced by the frame rate; the frame rate may be understood as the number of frames of the image captured per second, for example, the frame rate is 20 frames per second.

The image acquisition device 103 may or may not have a barcode recognition function. In one embodiment, when the image acquisition device 103 has a barcode recognition function, the image acquisition device 103 may recognize a barcode, and the image acquisition device 103 is also used to recognize the barcode based on at least one barcode containing the outside of the same sample container, and when the barcode is successfully recognized, send the barcode recognition result, or the first recognition result of the barcode to the controller 101; when receiving the barcode recognition result sent by the image acquisition device 103, the controller 101 determines the first recognition result of the barcode on the outside of the sample container from the received barcode recognition result. For example, if the image acquisition device 103 only obtains one barcode recognition result based on at least one barcode containing the outside of the same sample container, the controller 101 determines the only received barcode recognition result as the first recognition result of the barcode of the sample container. In one embodiment, at least one image including a barcode on the outside of the sample container includes multiple images; when the image acquisition device 103 acquires at least two different barcode recognition results based on the multiple images of the same sample container: the controller 101 is further used to determine a first recognition result of the barcode of the sample container from the at least two different barcode recognition results of the same sample container sent by the image acquisition device 103 based on the number of occurrences of the barcode recognition results corresponding to the same sample container; or, the image acquisition device 103 is further used to determine a first recognition result from the at least two different barcode recognition results of the same sample container based on the number of occurrences of the corresponding barcode recognition results, and send the first recognition result to the controller 101. For example, the controller 101 or the image acquisition device 103 determines the at least two identical barcode recognition results corresponding to the same sample container as the first recognition result. The first recognition result of the barcode of the sample container. For another example, the controller 101 or the image acquisition device 103 determines the barcode recognition result with the largest number of occurrences corresponding to the same sample container as the first recognition result of the barcode of the sample container.

When the image acquisition device 103 does not have a barcode recognition function, or the controller 101 does not receive the barcode recognition result and the first recognition result corresponding to the sample container sent by the image acquisition device 103, the controller 101 can recognize the barcode. Specifically, when the controller 101 acquires at least one image of the same sample container containing the barcode on the outside of the sample container, the controller 101 recognizes the barcode based on at least one image of the sample container containing the barcode on the outside of the sample container, obtains at least one barcode recognition result, and determines the first recognition result of the barcode in the at least one barcode recognition result. In one embodiment, the controller 101 is used to recognize the barcode based on the image features of all or part of the at least one image containing the barcode on the outside of the sample container; or, the controller 101 is used to process all or part of the at least one image containing the barcode on the outside of the sample container through a second set neural network to recognize the barcode; wherein the second set neural network is used to recognize the barcode in the input image. Here, the controller 101 can extract at least one type of image features from all or part of the images of at least one image of the same sample container containing the barcode outside the sample container through a set barcode recognition algorithm or a second set neural network; identify the barcode area according to the extracted image features and identify the barcode in the barcode area to obtain at least one barcode recognition result; and determine the first recognition result of the barcode in the determined barcode recognition results. For example, the same barcode recognition results corresponding to at least two consecutive images of the same sample container are determined as the first recognition result of the barcode of the sample container; for another example, the barcode recognition result with the most occurrences corresponding to the same sample container is determined as the first recognition result of the barcode of the sample container. The second set neural network is trained based on the image samples of the sample container, and at least part of the image samples contain the barcode outside the sample container. The at least one type of image features includes at least one of the following: edge features, grayscale distribution features, color features, texture features, shape features, and spatial relationship features. Edge features are used to characterize the presence of step changes (slope-type edges) or roof-like changes (roof-type edges) in the grayscale, brightness or color of pixels in an image; grayscale distribution features characterize the distribution of grayscale values in an image. Color features and texture features are global features that describe the surface properties of the barcode area outside the sample container. Shape features include contour features, which mainly describe the contour or boundary of the label and/or sample container. Spatial relationship features refer to the spatial position or relative direction relationship between multiple targets segmented from an image. These relationships can be divided into connection relationships or adjacency relationships, overlapping relationships or overlapping relationships, inclusion relationships or independent relationships, etc.

In actual application, if the controller 101 only obtains one barcode recognition result based on at least one image containing the barcode on the outside of the same sample container, then only this barcode recognition result will be determined as the first recognition result of the barcode of the sample container; if at least one image containing the barcode on the outside of the same sample container includes multiple images, and the controller 101 obtains at least two barcode recognition results based on the multiple images of the same sample container, then the same barcode recognition results corresponding to at least two consecutive images of the same sample container will be determined as the first recognition result of the barcode of the sample container, or the barcode recognition result with the largest number of occurrences corresponding to the same sample container will be determined as the first recognition result of the barcode of the sample container.

It should be noted that, when the image acquisition device 103 successfully identifies the barcode on the outside of the sample container, and/or the controller 101 successfully identifies the barcode on the outside of the sample container, the controller 101 can determine a first recognition result of the barcode on the outside of the sample container, and determine the sample information of the sample container based on the first recognition result of the barcode. For example, the first recognition result can be parsed or decoded according to the encoding rules or coding rules of the barcode to obtain the sample information of the sample container, and the sample detection items bound to the sample information (such as identification information) can also be obtained.

In the case that the image acquisition device 103 fails to successfully identify the barcode on the outside of the sample container, and the controller 101 also fails to successfully identify the barcode on the outside of the sample container, the controller 101 identifies the serial code based on at least one image containing the serial code on the outside of the same sample container, and determines the sample information of the sample container according to the second recognition result of the serial code; for example, according to the encoding of the serial code The rule parses or decodes the first recognition result of the sequence code to obtain the sample information of the sample container, and can also obtain the sample detection item bound to the sample information (such as identification information). Of course, when the sequence code does not involve the coding rule, the second recognition result of the sequence code can be used as the sample information of the sample container. In actual application, if the controller 101 obtains only one sequence code recognition result based on at least one sequence code containing the outside of the same sample container, then the only sequence code recognition result is determined as the second recognition result of the sequence code of the sample container; if at least one image containing the sequence code of the outside of the same sample container includes multiple images, and the controller 101 obtains at least two sequence code recognition results based on multiple images of the same sample container, then the controller 101 can determine the same sequence code recognition result corresponding to at least two consecutive images of the same sample container as the second recognition result of the sequence code of the sample container, or, the sequence code recognition result corresponding to the same sample container with the most occurrences is determined as the second recognition result of the sequence code of the sample container.

In order to improve the success rate of identifying sample information, in one embodiment, the controller 101 can obtain the second identification result of the sequence code in the following manner:

Recognize the serial code on the outside of the sample container based on the image features of all or part of at least one image containing the serial code on the outside of the sample container to obtain a second recognition result of the serial code; or,

The first set neural network is used to process all or part of at least one image containing the serial code on the outside of the sample container to obtain a second recognition result of the serial code; wherein the first set neural network is used to recognize the serial code in the input image.

Here, the controller 101 may use a set serial code recognition algorithm or a serial number recognition algorithm, such as an optical character recognition (OCR) algorithm, to extract image features of all or part of at least one image containing the serial code on the outside of the same sample container, and recognize the serial code on the outside of the sample container based on the extracted image features to obtain a second recognition result of the serial code. Specifically, the serial code region may be first recognized based on the extracted image features. domain, and then identify the sequence code in the sequence code area; the extracted image features include at least one of the following: edge features, grayscale distribution features, color features, texture features, shape features and spatial relationship features.

When the second recognition result obtained using the algorithm is the same as the second recognition result output by the first setting neural network, it indicates that the second recognition result is correct, for example, the serial codes identified by different methods in Figures 2 and 3 are the same; when the second recognition result obtained using the algorithm is different from the second recognition result output by the first setting neural network, the controller 101 issues an alarm prompt so that relevant personnel can review or make further processing. The first setting neural network is trained based on image samples of the sample container, and at least part of the image samples contain the serial code outside the sample container. The first setting neural network at least extracts the feature information of the numbers and/or characters used to constitute the serial code in the input image, and determines the serial code in the input image based on the extracted feature information.

In order to further improve the success rate and accuracy of identifying sample information, the controller 101 may also select at least one image containing the barcode and/or serial code on the outside of the sample container from multiple images of the same sample container for determining the sample information before identifying the barcode and/or serial code on the outside of the sample container. Based on this, in one embodiment, the controller 101 is further configured to:

Determine from the multiple images acquired by the image acquisition device 103, at least one image containing a barcode on the outside of the sample container, and/or at least one image containing a serial code on the outside of the sample container, which are used to determine the sample information of the sample container; wherein a first parameter value of the at least one image is greater than a set threshold; the first parameter value represents a ratio of a first area to a second area; the first area represents an area occupied by a barcode and/or a serial code in the at least one image; and the second area represents an area occupied by the sample container in the at least one image.

Here, the controller 101 can determine the first parameter value of each image in the multiple images of the same sample container, where the first parameter value represents the ratio of the first area to the second area; among the multiple images of the sample container, determine the image whose first parameter value is greater than the set threshold, and obtain at least one image containing the serial code and/or the serial code on the outside of the sample container. When the barcode is to be identified, the first area represents the area occupied by the barcode in the image to obtain at least one image including the serial code on the outside of the sample container; when the serial code needs to be identified, the first area represents the area occupied by the serial code in the image to obtain at least one image including the serial code on the outside of the sample container. When the barcode and the serial code need to be identified, the first area represents the area occupied by the barcode and the serial code in the image to obtain at least one image including the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container.

For example, Figures 4 and 5 respectively give examples of images obtained by rotational photography. Before recognizing the barcode, the image determined to contain the barcode on the outside of the sample container may be Figure (a) in Figure 4, or Figure (c) and/or Figure (d) in Figure 5; before recognizing the serial code, the image determined to contain the serial code on the outside of the sample container may be Figure (d) in Figure 5.

In one embodiment, the sample identification system further includes: a human-computer interaction device; the controller 101 is also used to: control the human-computer interaction device to output an alarm prompt message on its display interface when the serial code is not successfully identified; the alarm prompt message indicates that the sample information identification of the sample container has failed.

Here, the controller 101 may not be able to successfully identify the serial code because the serial code in the captured image may be incomplete or unclear. At this time, the controller 101 controls the human-computer interaction device to output an alarm prompt message on the display interface of the human-computer interaction device to prompt relevant personnel to perform further processing, for example, manually enter the serial number and/or sample information.

Considering that some barcodes are posted in a relatively regular manner or face the camera of the image acquisition device 103, it may not be necessary to rotate the sample container to scan the barcode in order to successfully identify the barcode. Therefore, in order to shorten the total time consumed for identifying the barcode and save data processing resources, the barcode outside the sample container can be identified when the sample container is in a stationary state, that is, a conventional scan is performed first. If the barcode cannot be identified when the sample container is in a stationary state, the sample container is then rotated to shoot or rotated to scan. Based on this, in one embodiment, before rotating and shooting the sample container, the image acquisition device 103 is also used to:

An image is taken when the sample container is stationary, and the barcode is calibrated based on the image. The sample container is identified by the rotating device 102. If the barcode cannot be identified successfully, at least the image of the barcode and/or the serial code on the outside of the sample container is acquired when the rotating device 102 drives the sample container to rotate.

Here, the image acquisition device 103 recognizes the barcode based on an image taken when the same sample container is stationary; the image acquisition device 103 recognizes the barcode on the outside of the sample container based on the image, and when the barcode on the outside of the sample container is not successfully recognized, the controller 101 can be notified to control the operation of the rotating device 102 to drive the sample container to rotate in a vertical direction; the image acquisition device 103 at least acquires an image containing the barcode and/or serial code on the outside of the sample container when the rotating device 102 drives the sample container to rotate, so that the image acquisition device 103 and/or the controller 101 recognize the barcode on the outside of the sample container based on the image containing the barcode and/or serial code on the outside of the sample container.

FIG6 shows an example of an image taken when the sample container is stationary. Since FIG6 (a) can show the complete barcode, and FIG6 (b) does not show the barcode, the barcode outside the sample container can be successfully recognized based on FIG6 (a), and the barcode outside the sample container cannot be successfully recognized based on FIG6 (b).

FIG7 shows an example of rotating and photographing a sample container. Since the barcode cannot be successfully recognized when the barcode is not fully displayed in the image, the barcode outside the sample container cannot be successfully recognized based on images (a) and (b) in FIG7 , but the barcode outside the sample container can be successfully recognized based on images (c) and/or (d) in FIG7 .

In the scenario of performing rotational photography or rotational scanning on the sample container carried by the base, in one embodiment, the rotating device 102 includes: a base for vertically placing the sample container, and a rotating mechanism for driving the base to rotate around the vertical direction.

Here, as shown in FIG. 4 , the rotating mechanism is connected to a base for vertically placing a sample container, the base also being called a sample holder, and the rotating mechanism drives the base to rotate, so as to drive the sample container vertically placed on the base to rotate around the vertical direction, for example, to rotate 360 degrees around the vertical direction. Image acquisition device 103 An image may be taken when the sample container is stationary, and/or at least an image including a barcode and/or a serial code on the outside of the sample container may be acquired while the rotating device 102 drives the sample container to rotate.

Among them, the base used to vertically place the sample container can clamp the bottom of the sample container, and the part that clamps the sample container does not block the barcode and/or serial code; the base can be a single-tube base or a multi-tube base; a multi-tube base can hold multiple sample containers, for example, 5 or 10 sample containers.

In the scenario of performing rotational photography or rotational scanning on a sample container grasped by a manipulator, in one embodiment, the rotating device 102 includes: a manipulator for grasping the sample container, and a rotating mechanism for driving the manipulator to rotate around a vertical direction.

Here, the rotating mechanism is connected to the manipulator; the manipulator can be used to clamp the top or other parts of the sample container, and the part of the sample container clamped does not block the barcode and/or serial code. The rotating mechanism can drive the manipulator to rotate around the vertical direction to drive the sample container clamped by the manipulator to rotate around the vertical direction. The image acquisition device 103 can take an image when the sample container is stationary, and/or, at least acquire an image containing the barcode and/or serial code on the outside of the sample container during the process of the rotating device 102 driving the sample container to rotate.

In actual application, as shown in FIG5 , the rotating device 102 can clamp the top of the sample container through a manipulator, lift the sample container to a certain height, and drive the manipulator to rotate in a vertical direction through a rotating mechanism, so as to drive the sample container clamped by the manipulator to rotate in a vertical direction, so that the image acquisition device 103 can rotate and photograph the sample container.

In the scenario of performing rotational photography or rotational scanning on a sample rack placed in a sample tube, in one embodiment, the rotating device 102 includes: a sample container carrying mechanism, and a rotating mechanism for driving the sample container to rotate around a vertical direction in the sample container carrying mechanism.

Here, the sample container can be rotated in the sample container carrying mechanism around the vertical direction of the sample container, and the sample container carrying mechanism is used to carry or fix the sample container, and the barcode and/or serial code outside the sample container is not blocked. Can hold multiple sample containers, for example 5 or 10.

It should be noted that the rotating device 102 may also include a rotating head, and the rotating mechanism may drive the rotating head to rotate; when the rotating mechanism drives the rotating head to rotate, the rotating head is used to apply pressure to the end of the sample container to drive the sample container to rotate in the sample container carrying mechanism. The rotating mechanism is connected to the rotating head.

In one embodiment, the image acquisition device 103 further includes:

A light source is used to provide a shooting light source for the camera.

Here, the light source can improve the brightness of the shooting environment, thereby improving the brightness of the image captured by the image acquisition device 103 to obtain a clear image.

Based on the above embodiment, the image acquisition device 103 captures an image containing a barcode and/or a serial code on the outside of the same sample container in a rotation scanning or selective shooting scenario, and the image acquisition device 103 and/or the controller 101 recognizes the barcode based on at least one image containing a barcode on the outside of the same sample container. If the barcode is not successfully recognized, the controller 101 recognizes the serial code based on at least one image containing a serial code on the outside of the same sample container, obtains a second recognition result of the serial code, and determines the sample information of the sample container based on the second recognition result. In this way, even if the barcode is not successfully recognized, the sample information can be obtained by recognizing the serial code. Compared with the solution in the related art that obtains the sample information only by scanning the barcode, the above solution can improve the success rate of identifying the sample information.

Continuing to refer to FIG. 1 , the present embodiment also provides another sample identification system, which is different from the sample identification system provided in the above embodiment in that:

The controller 101 is used to identify the barcode based on at least one image containing the barcode on the outside of the sample container acquired by the image acquisition device 103, identify the serial code based on at least one image containing the serial code on the outside of the sample container acquired by the image acquisition device 103, and determine the sample information of the sample container based on a first recognition result of the barcode and a second recognition result of the serial code.

Here, the image acquisition device 103 acquires an image containing a barcode and/or a serial code on the outside of the sample container when the rotating device 102 drives the sample container to rotate; the controller 101 acquires an image containing a barcode and/or a serial code on the outside of the same sample container acquired by the image acquisition device 103, and obtains a first recognition result of the barcode based on at least one image containing a barcode on the outside of the sample container; the serial code is recognized based on at least one image containing a serial code on the outside of the sample container to obtain a second recognition result of the serial code; the sample information of the sample container is determined based on the first recognition result of the barcode and the second recognition result of the serial code. Of course, the controller 101 can also recognize the barcode and the serial code based on at least one image containing a barcode and a serial code on the outside of the same sample container to obtain a first recognition result of the barcode and a second recognition result of the serial code. For the implementation method of the controller 101 recognizing the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container to obtain the first recognition result and the second recognition result, please refer to the relevant description above, which will not be repeated here.

In one embodiment, the controller 101 determines the sample information of the sample container based on the first recognition result of the barcode and the second recognition result of the serial code, including:

When the first recognition result and the second recognition result are the same, the sample information of the sample container is determined based on the first recognition result or the second recognition result.

Here, when the controller 101 obtains the first recognition result of the barcode and the second recognition result of the serial code, it determines whether the first recognition result is the same as the second recognition result to verify the first recognition result and the second recognition result; when the first recognition result is the same as the second recognition result, it indicates that the code scanning is successful, and the controller 101 determines the sample information of the sample container based on the first recognition result or the second recognition result.

It should be noted that, when the first recognition result and the second recognition result are different, indicating that the code scanning is abnormal, the controller 101 can transfer the sample container to the code scanning abnormality area, and can also control the human-computer interaction device in the sample identification system to output an alarm prompt message on the display interface of the human-computer interaction device or output a prompt message indicating the code scanning abnormality, so as to prompt relevant personnel to make further processing, for example, manually enter the serial number and/or sample information; the alarm prompt message indicates that the sample information recognition of the sample container is abnormal. Don't fail.

In actual application, relevant personnel will place an order on the computer before loading the sample and enter the barcode of the sample to be tested. The server can obtain the sample information determined by the controller based on the first recognition result or the second recognition result, and establish a correspondence between the barcode and the sample information and the sample test result. One barcode is bound to one sample information and one sample test result.

Based on the above embodiments, in the scenario of rotational scanning or selective shooting, the controller 101 recognizes the barcode based on at least one image containing the barcode on the outside of the same sample container, recognizes the serial code based on at least one image containing the serial code on the outside of the same sample container, and determines the sample information of the sample container based on the first recognition result of the barcode and the second recognition result of the serial code; thereby, even if the barcode is not successfully recognized, the sample information can be obtained by recognizing the serial code, thereby improving the success rate of identifying the sample information; in addition, the image acquisition device 103 does not need to recognize the barcode, which can save data processing resources of the image acquisition device 103 and reduce the requirements for the data processing capability of the image acquisition device.

Continuing to refer to FIG. 1 , the present embodiment also provides another sample identification system, which is different from the sample identification system provided in the above embodiment in that:

An image acquisition device 103, used to acquire an image of the sample container when the rotating device 102 drives the sample container to rotate;

The controller 101 is used to control the rotation device to operate, and when the image acquisition device acquires an image including the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container, control the rotation device to stop operating;

The controller 101 is further configured to determine the sample information of the sample container according to the first recognition result of the barcode when the image containing the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container acquired by the image acquisition device 103 can successfully recognize the barcode; and to determine the sample information of the sample container according to the first recognition result of the barcode when the image containing the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container acquired by the image acquisition device 103 cannot successfully recognize the barcode. The image containing the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container recognizes the serial code, and determines the sample information of the sample container according to the second recognition result of the serial code.

Here, the controller 101 controls the rotation device 102 to operate so that the rotation device 102 drives the sample container to rotate around the vertical direction, and the image acquisition device 103 acquires the image of the sample container when the rotation device 102 drives the sample container to rotate. The controller 101 acquires the image of the same sample container taken by the image acquisition device 103, and determines whether the acquired image contains the image of the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container, that is, determines whether the front image of the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container is acquired; when the image acquisition device 103 acquires the image containing the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container, the controller 101 controls the rotation device 102 to stop operating; the image acquisition device 103 and/or the controller 101 can recognize the barcode according to the image containing the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container to obtain a barcode recognition result; in the case that the barcode cannot be successfully recognized according to the image containing the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container acquired by the image acquisition device 103, the controller 101 can also recognize the serial code according to the image containing the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container to obtain a serial code recognition result. In actual application, the controller 101 can control the rotating device 102 to rotate at a set angle, that is, each time the rotating device 102 rotates at a set angle, for example, 20 degrees. The rotating angle of the rotating device 102 can be determined according to the rotation speed of the rotating device 102.

In order to improve the success rate of identifying sample information, in one embodiment, the controller 101 is further used to identify the barcode based on the image features of all or part of the image containing the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container; or,

The controller 101 is also used to process all or part of the image containing the barcode and serial code on the outside of the sample container through a second set neural network to identify the barcode; wherein the second set neural network is used to identify the barcode in the input image.

It should be noted that the method of identifying a barcode based on an image containing a barcode and a serial code on the outside of a sample container is similar to the above method of identifying a barcode based on at least one barcode on the outside of a sample container, and is not described in detail here.

In order to improve the success rate of identifying sample information, in one embodiment, the controller 101 may identify the serial code based on the image features of all or part of the image including the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container to obtain the second identification result; or,

The controller 101 can process all or part of the image including the barcode and serial code on the outside of the sample container through a first set neural network to identify the serial code and obtain the second recognition result; wherein the first set neural network is used to identify the serial code in the input image.

It should be noted that the method of identifying the serial code based on an image containing the barcode and serial code on the outside of the sample container is similar to the above method of identifying the serial code based on at least one image containing the serial code on the outside of the sample container, and will not be repeated here.

In order to accurately identify the front image of the barcode and the serial code, in one embodiment, when the rotating device 102 is running, the controller 101 identifies the image based on the image features of the image acquired by the image acquisition device 103 to obtain a third recognition result; or, the controller 101 processes the image acquired by the image acquisition device 103 through a third set neural network to obtain a third recognition result; when the third recognition result indicates that the image acquisition device 103 acquires an image containing the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container, the controller 101 controls the rotating device 102 to stop running.

Here, the controller 101 can call a barcode area recognition algorithm to recognize the image features of the image acquired by the image acquisition device 103 to obtain a third recognition result; the barcode area recognition algorithm is used to detect the barcode area; the image features include at least one of the following: edge features, grayscale distribution features, color features, texture features, shape features and spatial relationship features. The third setting neural network is used to process the input image to obtain a barcode area recognition result, and the barcode area recognition result indicates whether the barcode and serial code outside the sample container are included. The third setting neural network takes the image of the sample container as input and the barcode area recognition result as output. It should be noted that when the third recognition result indicates that the image acquisition device 103 has not acquired an image containing the barcode and serial code outside the sample container, the controller 101 can control the rotating device 102 to continue running until the third The recognition result indicates that the image acquisition device 103 acquires an image including the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container. The acquisition of the image including the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container can be understood as the acquisition of the front image of the barcode and the serial code.

In order to further improve the success rate and accuracy of identifying sample information, the controller 101 can also select images with larger image areas of barcodes and serial codes from multiple images of the same sample container before identifying the barcodes and serial codes on the outside of the sample container to identify the sample information. Based on this, in one embodiment, the image containing the barcode and serial code on the outside of the sample container used to determine the sample information of the sample container is determined from the multiple images acquired by the image acquisition device; wherein,

The first parameter value of the at least one image is greater than a set threshold; the first parameter value represents the ratio of the first area to the second area; the first area represents the area occupied by the barcode and the serial code in the at least one image; the second area represents the area occupied by the sample container in the at least one image. In order to improve the accuracy of the first recognition result, in one embodiment, when at least two different barcode recognition results are obtained based on multiple images of the same sample container obtained by the image acquisition device 103: the controller 101 is also used to determine the first recognition result of the barcode from the at least two different barcode recognition results based on the number of occurrences of the barcode recognition results corresponding to the same sample container; or, the image acquisition device 103 is also used to determine the first recognition result from the at least two different barcode recognition results based on the number of occurrences of the corresponding barcode recognition results, and send the first recognition result to the controller.

Some or all of the multiple images of the same sample container acquired by the image acquisition device 103 contain at least the barcode on the outside of the sample container, that is, one image may contain only the barcode on the outside of the sample container, or one image may contain the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container. The controller 101 or the image acquisition device 103 may identify at least two different barcode recognition results based on the multiple images containing at least the barcode on the outside of the same sample container; the controller 101 or the image acquisition device 103 may identify at least two identical barcodes corresponding to the same sample container. The controller 101 or the image acquisition device 103 may also determine the barcode recognition result with the largest number of occurrences corresponding to the same sample container as the first recognition result of the barcode of the sample container.

In order to improve the accuracy of the first recognition result, in one embodiment, the controller 101 or the image acquisition device 103 determines the first recognition result from at least two different barcode recognition results based on the number of occurrences of the barcode recognition results corresponding to the same sample container, including:

For each image acquired by the image acquisition device 103, the controller 101 or the image acquisition device 103 votes on the corresponding barcode recognition result when the barcode in the image is recognized; when the number of votes corresponding to any barcode recognition result is greater than a set threshold, the barcode recognition result with the number of votes greater than the set threshold is determined as the first recognition result.

Here, the controller 101 or the image acquisition device 103 votes for each barcode recognition result corresponding to a sample container; when the number of votes corresponding to any barcode recognition result of the same sample container is greater than a set threshold, the barcode recognition result with a number of votes greater than the set threshold is determined as the first recognition result of the barcode outside the sample container. For example, when a barcode recognition result A corresponding to any sample container is obtained, A is voted, and when any barcode recognition result of the sample container reaches N votes, A is determined as the first recognition result of the barcode outside the sample container. It should be noted that the barcode recognition results of the same sample container obtained twice in a row can be the same or different. For example, the barcode recognition results corresponding to the same sample container obtained multiple times in a row are ABA, ABB, AAA, ABAA or ABBAA.

In the case where the image acquisition device 103 and/or the controller 101 successfully recognizes the barcode on the outside of the sample container, the controller 101 can also determine the sample information of the sample container according to the first recognition result of the barcode of the sample container; in the case where the image acquisition device 103 and/or the controller 101 fail to successfully recognize the barcode on the outside of the sample container, the controller 101 can also recognize the serial code based on an image at least containing the serial code on the outside of the same sample container, and determine the sample information of the sample container according to the first recognition result of the barcode of the sample container. The second identification result determines the sample information of the sample container. The implementation process of the controller 101 determining the sample information according to the second identification result is described above and will not be repeated here.

Considering that some barcodes are posted more neatly or face the camera of the image acquisition device 103, it may not be necessary to rotate the sample container to scan the barcode in order to successfully identify the barcode. Therefore, in order to shorten the total time consumed for identifying the barcode and save data processing resources, the barcode outside the sample container can be identified when the sample container is in a stationary state, that is, a conventional scan is performed first. If the barcode cannot be identified when the sample container is in a stationary state, the sample container is rotated and photographed. Based on this, in one embodiment, the image acquisition device 103 is also used to obtain an image of the sample container when the sample container is stationary; if the controller 101 fails to successfully identify the barcode based on the image, the rotation device 102 is controlled to operate.

Here, before the rotating device 102 drives the sample container to rotate in the vertical direction, the image acquisition device 103 acquires an image of the sample container when the sample container is stationary; the image acquisition device 103 and/or the controller 101 recognize the barcode based on the image; if the barcode can be successfully recognized based on the image, the controller 101 can control the rotating device 102 to stop running; if the barcode cannot be successfully recognized based on the image, the controller 101 controls the rotating device 102 to run, thereby driving the sample container to rotate in the vertical direction, so as to recognize the barcode in the scene of rotation scanning or rotation photography. In this way, the success rate of identifying sample information can be guaranteed, resources can be saved, and the efficiency of sample information recognition can be improved.

In order to avoid wasting too much time on samples without barcodes and improve the efficiency of sample information identification, in one embodiment, the controller 101 is also used to control the rotating device 102 to stop running if no barcode is identified after the rotating device 102 drives the sample container to rotate a set number of times.

Here, after the rotating device 102 drives the sample container to rotate a set number of times, if the barcode recognition result corresponding to the sample container sent by the image acquisition device 103 is still not received, or the controller 101 still cannot recognize any barcode corresponding to the sample container, indicating that there is no barcode on the outside of the sample container, then the controller 101 controls the rotating device 102 to stop running, so that the sample container stops. The set number of revolutions may be 2; at this time, the controller 101 may also mark the barcode recognition result of the sample container as NOREAD or recognition failure or no barcode.

It should be noted that if any barcode recognition result corresponding to the sample container is obtained within the first set number of revolutions driven by the rotating device 102, the controller 101 or the image acquisition device 103 needs to determine the first recognition result of the barcode within the second set number of revolutions driven by the rotating device 102; if the controller 101 still fails to determine the first recognition result of the barcode when the rotating device 102 drives the sample container to rotate the second set number of revolutions, or fails to receive the first recognition result of the barcode sent by the image acquisition device 103, then the controller 101 can mark the barcode recognition result of the sample container as NOREAD or recognition failure or no barcode. The second set number of revolutions is greater than the first set number of revolutions, for example, the first set number of revolutions can be 2, and the second set number of revolutions can be 3 or 4.

Based on the above embodiments, in the scenario of rotational scanning or selective shooting, the image acquisition device 103 acquires an image of the sample container while the rotating device 102 drives the sample container to rotate. When the image acquisition device 103 acquires an image containing the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container, the controller 101 recognizes the barcode according to the image containing the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container; if the barcode can be successfully recognized, the controller 101 determines the sample information of the sample container according to the first recognition result of the barcode; if the barcode cannot be successfully recognized, the controller 101 recognizes the serial code according to the image containing the serial code on the outside of the sample container and the serial code, obtains a second recognition result of the serial code, and determines the sample information of the sample container according to the second recognition result. In this way, not only the efficiency of identifying sample information can be improved, but also the sample information can be obtained by identifying the serial code even if the barcode is not successfully recognized. Compared with the solution of obtaining sample information by only scanning the barcode in the related art, the above solution can improve the success rate and efficiency of identifying sample information.

Continuing to refer to FIG. 1 , the present embodiment also provides another sample identification system, which is different from the sample identification system provided in the above embodiment in that:

The image acquisition device 103 is used for, when the rotating device drives the sample container to rotate, acquiring at least an image including a barcode on the exterior of the sample container;

The controller 101 is used to control the rotation device 102 to operate, and when the image acquisition device 103 acquires an image containing the barcode and/or the serial code on the outside of the sample container, control the rotation device 102 to stop operating; and is also used to determine the sample information of the sample container according to a first recognition result of the barcode when the barcode can be successfully identified according to the image containing the barcode on the outside of the sample container, and is used to control the rotation device 102 to operate, according to at least one image containing the barcode acquired by the image acquisition device 103, when the barcode cannot be successfully identified according to the image containing the barcode on the outside of the sample container. The barcode is identified based on the image of the barcode on the outside of the sample container. When the barcode can be successfully identified based on the at least one image containing the barcode on the outside of the sample container, the sample information of the sample container is determined based on the first recognition result of the barcode. When the barcode cannot be successfully identified based on the at least one image containing the barcode on the outside of the sample container, the serial code is identified based on at least one image containing the serial code on the outside of the sample container acquired by the image acquisition device 103, and the sample information of the sample container is determined based on the second recognition result of the serial code.

Here, the controller 101 controls the rotation device 102 to operate so that the rotation device 102 drives the sample container to rotate around the vertical direction, and the image acquisition device 103 acquires an image of the sample container when the rotation device 102 drives the sample container to rotate. In actual application, the controller 101 can control the rotation device 102 to rotate at a set angle, that is, each time the rotation is set by an angle, such as 20 degrees. The rotation angle of the rotation device 102 can be determined according to the rotation speed of the rotation device 102.

The controller 101 acquires the image of the same sample container taken by the image acquisition device 103, and determines whether the acquired image contains the image of the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container, that is, determines whether the front image of the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container is acquired; when the acquired image contains the image of the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container, the controller 101 controls the rotating device 102 to stop running. The controller 101 or the image acquisition device 103 determines whether the image contains the image of the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container. The controller 101 identifies the image of the barcode on the outside of the sample container. When the barcode can be successfully identified based on the image including the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container, the controller 101 determines the sample information of the sample container based on the first recognition result of the barcode on the outside of the sample container. When the barcode cannot be successfully identified based on the image including the barcode on the outside of the sample container, the controller 101 controls the rotation device 103 to operate. When the rotation device 102 drives the sample container to rotate, the image acquisition device 103 at least acquires the image including the barcode and/or the serial code on the outside of the sample container. The controller 101 recognizes the barcode based on at least one image containing the barcode on the outside of the same sample container acquired by the image acquisition device 103. When the barcode can be successfully recognized based on at least one image containing the barcode on the outside of the same sample container, the controller 101 determines the sample information of the sample container based on the first recognition result of the barcode. When the barcode cannot be successfully recognized based on at least one image containing the barcode on the outside of the same sample container, the controller 101 recognizes the serial code based on at least one image containing the serial code on the outside of the same sample container acquired by the image acquisition device 103, and determines the sample information of the sample container based on the second recognition result of the serial code.

For the implementation method of identifying the barcode and serial code, and the implementation method of determining the sample information, please refer to the relevant description above and will not be repeated here.

Based on the relevant description of the above embodiment, correspondingly, the embodiment of the present application also provides a sample identification method, which is applied to the controller in the above sample identification system; the sample identification system also includes a rotating device and an image acquisition device coupled to the controller, and the controller can communicate with the image acquisition device to receive or acquire images taken by the image acquisition device, and/or receive barcode recognition results sent by the image acquisition device. Referring to Figure 8, the method includes:

Step 801: when a barcode on the outside of a sample container can be successfully identified based on at least one image at least including the barcode on the outside of the sample container, determine sample information of the sample container based on a first recognition result of the barcode.

wherein at least one image including at least a barcode on the outside of the sample container is acquired by an image The device is photographed when the rotating device drives the sample container to rotate.

Here, the image acquisition device or the controller may recognize the barcode based on at least one image that at least includes the barcode on the outside of the same sample container to obtain a barcode recognition result, and determine a first barcode recognition result based on the barcode recognition result of the same sample container, and the controller determines the sample information of the sample container based on the first barcode recognition result. Alternatively, the image acquisition device may recognize the barcode based on at least one image that at least includes the barcode on the outside of the same sample container to obtain a barcode recognition result, and the controller may determine a first barcode recognition result based on the barcode recognition result of the same sample container; and the controller determines the sample information of the sample container based on the first barcode recognition result. The implementation process of determining the first barcode recognition result and determining the sample information based on the first recognition result is described above, and will not be repeated here.

It should be noted that the image that at least includes the barcode on the outside of the same sample container may include at least the barcode of the sample container and may also include the serial code of the sample container. That is, the image acquisition device or controller recognizes the barcode based on at least one image that at least includes the barcode on the outside of the same sample container, including: performing barcode recognition based on the image that includes the barcode on the outside of the same sample container, or performing barcode recognition based on the image that includes the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the same sample container.

In order to reduce the amount of data processing of the controller, the barcode can be recognized by an image acquisition device. Based on this, in one embodiment, determining the sample information of the sample container according to the first recognition result of the barcode includes:

Receive the first recognition result sent by the image acquisition device, and determine the sample information of the sample container according to the first recognition result; the first recognition result is obtained by the image acquisition device recognizing the barcode based on an image captured by at least the barcode on the outside of the sample container.

Here, if the image acquisition device is based on at least one image containing at least one sample container The barcode is recognized by using the image of the barcode on the sample container, and only one barcode recognition result is obtained, then the barcode recognition result is the first recognition result of the barcode of the sample container; the image acquisition device sends the first recognition result of the barcode of the sample container to the controller; the controller receives the first recognition result sent by the image acquisition device, and determines the sample information of the sample container according to the first recognition result.

The image at least including the barcode on the outside of the sample container may be an image acquired when the sample container is stationary before the controller controls the rotating device to operate, or may be an image captured by the image acquisition device when the rotating device drives the sample container to rotate.

In the scenario of rotational scanning or rotational photography, the barcode can be recognized by the image acquisition device to reduce the amount of data processing of the controller. Based on this, in one embodiment, the at least one image containing at least the barcode on the outside of the sample container includes multiple images; the receiving the first recognition result sent by the image acquisition device includes:

receiving at least two different barcode recognition results acquired by the image acquisition device based on the multiple images;

The first recognition result is determined from the at least two different barcode recognition results based on the number of occurrences of the corresponding barcode recognition results.

Here, the image acquisition device can obtain at least two different barcode recognition results based on multiple images containing at least the barcode on the outside of the same sample container, and send all barcode recognition results corresponding to the same sample container to the controller; the controller determines the first recognition result from all barcode recognition results corresponding to the sample container based on the number of occurrences of each barcode recognition result corresponding to the sample container; for example, the controller can determine the barcode recognition result with the largest number of occurrences corresponding to the same sample container as the first recognition result of the barcode of the sample container. In this way, the accuracy and credibility of the first recognition result can be improved.

In order to improve the accuracy and credibility of the first recognition result, in one embodiment, the barcode recognition result is selected from the at least two different barcode recognition results based on the number of occurrences of the corresponding barcode recognition results. Determining the first recognition result from the results includes:

Vote for the corresponding barcode recognition results;

In the case that the number of votes corresponding to any barcode recognition result is greater than a set threshold, the barcode recognition result with the number of votes greater than the set threshold is determined as the first recognition result.

For example, if the different barcode recognition results corresponding to the same sample container are ABA, AAA, ABAA or ABBAAA, then the first recognition result of the barcode of the sample container is A; if the different barcode recognition results corresponding to the same sample container are ABB, then the first recognition result of the barcode of the sample container is B.

In the case of rotation scanning or rotation photography, the barcode recognition can be controlled to reduce the data processing amount of the image acquisition device or reduce the data processing capability requirements of the image acquisition device. Based on this, in one embodiment, the method further includes:

receiving the at least one image including at least the barcode on the outside of the sample container sent by the image acquisition device;

The barcode is identified based on image features of all or part of the at least one image that at least includes the barcode on the outside of the sample container; or, the barcode is identified by processing all or part of the at least one image that at least includes the barcode on the outside of the sample container through a second set neural network; the second set neural network is used to identify the barcode in the input image.

Here, the at least one image containing at least the barcode on the outside of the sample container is captured by the image acquisition device when the rotating device drives the sample container to rotate. The implementation process of the controller recognizing the barcode based on at least one image containing at least the barcode on the outside of the same sample container is described above and will not be repeated here.

Step 802: If the barcode cannot be successfully identified based on at least one image that at least includes the barcode on the outside of the sample container, identify the serial code based on at least one image that at least includes the serial code on the outside of the sample container, and identify the serial code based on the serial code. The sample information of the sample container is determined based on the second recognition result.

Wherein, at least one image including at least the barcode and/or the serial code on the outside of the sample container is captured by the image acquisition device when the rotating device drives the sample container to rotate.

Here, when the controller or the image acquisition device fails to successfully identify the barcode based on at least one image that at least includes the barcode on the outside of the same sample container, the controller identifies the serial code on the outside of the sample container based on at least one image that at least includes the serial code on the outside of the sample container, obtains a second identification result of the barcode, and determines the sample information of the sample container based on the second identification result of the serial code. For specific implementation details, please refer to the relevant description above, which will not be repeated here.

It should be noted that, among the images at least including the serial code on the outside of the sample container, the image at least including the serial code on the outside of the sample container may also include the serial code on the outside of the sample container. That is, the controller recognizes the serial code based on at least one image at least including the serial code on the outside of the same sample container, including: performing barcode recognition based on the image including the serial code on the outside of the same sample container, or performing barcode recognition based on the image including the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the same sample container.

In order to improve the success rate of identifying sample information, in one embodiment, the identifying the serial code based on at least one image at least including the serial code on the outside of the sample container includes:

Recognize the serial code based on the image features of all or part of the at least one image that at least includes the serial code on the outside of the sample container to obtain the second recognition result; or,

Serial number.

Here, for the implementation process of the controller recognizing the serial code based on the image containing the serial code on the outside of the sample container, please refer to the relevant description above and will not be repeated here.

Since the barcode and/or the serial code can be successfully identified based on the front image of the barcode and the serial code, in order to improve the efficiency of identifying the barcode and/or the serial code, the rotating device can be stopped when the front image of the barcode and/or the serial code is obtained. Based on this, in one embodiment, the rotating device is controlled to operate, and when the image acquisition device acquires an image containing the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container, the rotating device is controlled to stop operating.

Here, when the image acquisition device fails to acquire an image containing the barcode and serial code on the outside of the sample container, the controller can control the rotating device to continue to operate to drive the sample container to continue to rotate in the vertical direction, and the image acquisition device captures the next frame of image.

In order to accurately identify the front image of the barcode and the serial code, in one embodiment, when the rotating device is running, the image acquired by the image acquisition device is identified based on the image features to obtain a third recognition result; or, the image acquired by the image acquisition device is processed by a third set neural network to obtain a third recognition result;

When the third recognition result indicates that the image acquisition device acquires an image including the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container, the controller controls the rotating device to stop running.

Here, after the rotating device drives the sample container to rotate a set number of times, if the controller still does not receive the barcode recognition result corresponding to the sample container sent by the image acquisition device, or the controller still does not recognize any barcode corresponding to the sample container, it indicates that there is no barcode on the outside of the sample container. If the barcode is found, the controller controls the rotating device to stop running, so that the sample container stops rotating; the set number of revolutions can be 2. The controller can also mark the barcode recognition result of the sample container as NOREAD or recognition failure or no barcode.

It should be noted that if any barcode recognition result corresponding to the sample container is obtained within the first set number of revolutions driven by the rotating device, the controller or the image acquisition device needs to determine the first recognition result of the barcode of the sample container within the second set number of revolutions driven by the rotating device; if, when the rotating device drives the sample container to rotate the second set number of revolutions, the controller or the image acquisition device still has not determined the first recognition result of the barcode of the sample container, then the controller can mark the barcode recognition result of the sample container as NOREAD or recognition failure or no barcode. The second set number of revolutions is greater than the first set number of revolutions, for example, the first set number of revolutions can be 2, and the second set number of revolutions can be 3 or 4.

In order to further improve the success rate and accuracy of identifying sample information, before identifying the barcode and/or serial code on the outside of the sample container, the controller may also filter out the image containing the barcode and/or serial code on the outside of the sample container from multiple images of the same sample container for determining the sample information. Based on this, in one embodiment, the method further includes:

Determine from the multiple images acquired by the image acquisition device the at least one image containing at least the barcode on the outside of the sample container and/or the at least one image containing at least the serial code on the outside of the sample container for determining the sample information of the sample container; wherein,

The first parameter value of the image is greater than a set threshold; the first parameter value represents a ratio of a first area to a second area; the first area represents an area occupied by a barcode and/or a serial code in the at least one image; and the second area represents an area occupied by the sample container in the at least one image.

Here, the controller can determine, from the multiple images acquired by the image acquisition device, an image containing a barcode on the outside of the sample container and/or an image containing a serial code on the outside of the sample container for determining the sample information of the sample container; or An image including a barcode and a serial code on the outside of the sample container for determining sample information of the sample container is determined in the image.

In actual application, the controller may not be able to successfully identify the sequence code because the sequence code in the captured image may be incomplete or unclear. Based on this, in order to remind relevant personnel to deal with samples with unrecognizable sequence codes in a timely manner, in one embodiment, the method further includes:

In the case where the serial code is not successfully identified, the human-computer interaction device controlling the sample identification system outputs an alarm prompt message on its display interface; the alarm prompt message indicates that the sample information identification of the sample container has failed.

It should be noted that, in one embodiment, the controller can also identify the barcode based on at least one image containing the barcode on the outside of the same sample container, identify the serial code based on at least one image containing the serial code on the outside of the same sample container, and determine the sample information of the sample container based on the first recognition result of the barcode and the second recognition result of the serial code; wherein, at least one image containing the barcode and/or serial code on the outside of the same sample container is captured by the image acquisition device when the rotating device drives the sample container to rotate. In actual application, when the first recognition result and the second recognition result corresponding to the same sample container are the same, the sample information of the sample container is determined based on the first recognition result or the second recognition result; when the first recognition result and the second recognition result corresponding to the same sample container are different, it indicates that the code scanning is abnormal, and the controller can transfer the sample container to the code scanning abnormality area, and can also control the human-computer interaction device in the sample identification system to output an alarm prompt message or a prompt message indicating the code scanning abnormality on its display interface to prompt relevant personnel to make further processing.

It should be noted that, in one embodiment, the controller can also control the rotation device to operate so that the image acquisition device at least acquires an image containing the barcode and/or the serial code on the outside of the sample container when the rotation device drives the sample container to rotate. When the image acquisition device acquires an image containing the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container, the controller controls the rotation device to stop operating; when the image acquisition device can successfully identify the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container based on the image containing the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container, the controller controls the rotation device to stop operating. In the case of a barcode, the sample information of the sample container is determined according to a first recognition result of the barcode, and in the case that the barcode cannot be successfully recognized according to the image containing the barcode and the serial code on the outside of the sample container, the rotating device is controlled to operate; the barcode is recognized according to at least one image containing the barcode on the outside of the sample container acquired by an image acquisition device, and in the case that the barcode can be successfully recognized according to the at least one image containing the barcode on the outside of the sample container, the sample information of the sample container is determined according to the first recognition result of the barcode; in the case that the barcode cannot be successfully recognized according to the at least one image containing the barcode on the outside of the sample container, the serial code is recognized according to at least one image containing the serial code on the outside of the sample container acquired by the image acquisition device, and the sample information of the sample container is determined according to a second recognition result of the serial code.
