A three-dimensional particle tracking velocimeter for measuring an instantaneous distribution of all the three velocity components in a liquid flow is developed using an automated digital image processing technique. The measurement system consists of three TV cameras, a digital image processor, a laser disk recorder and a 16-bit microcomputer. Motions of neutrally buoyant tracer particles introduced into the flow field are observed by the cameras, and the three-dimensional displacement of each particle is calculated from consecutive TV frames recorded on the laser disk. Instantaneous velocity profiles in an unsteady laminar Couette flow between two concentric cylinders are measured. The results are in good agreement with predictions within the measurement uncertainties evaluated systematically. Furthermore, the measurement of a decaying turbulence in a stirred water tank demonstrates that the present technique is applicable to turbulent flows.

This paper proposes a novel microfluidic system for cell/microparticle recognition and manipulation utilizing digital image processing technique (DIP) and optical tweezer under microfluidic configuration. Digital image processing technique is used to count and recognize the cell/particle samples and then sends a control signal to generate a laser pulse to manipulate the target cell/particle optically. The optical tweezer system is capable of catching, moving and switching the target cells at the downstream of the microchannel. The trapping force of the optical tweezer is also demonstrated utilizing Stocks-drag method and electroosmotic flow. The proposed system provides a simple but high-performance solution for microparticle manipulation in a microfluidic device.

Manual examination is not as accurate to examine crop growing stages because of the possibility of the human mistake and errors. While machine examination or automatic examination can easily examine crop growing stages and increase productivity because it provides fast and accurate examine result. This study provide a solution to finding the wheat crop growth stages, Once the growing stages are established, farmers can take suitable and measured steps to improve the production of wheat or other agricultural crops. For finding the growth stages of wheat digital image processing technique is used. RGB model, HSI model, mean value of green colour, hue and saturation images use for examining wheat crop.
