An intelligent, accurate and fast droplet tracking method based on machine vision was developed for digital microfluidics applications. The method utilizes correlation filter tracker to continuously recognize transparent droplets in real-time and avoid interference, enabling accurate droplet localization and estimation of droplet velocity. The method was demonstrated to have applications in colorimetric assays and reaction kinetics studies.
Tracking the movement of droplets in digital microfluidics is essential to improve its control stability and obtain dynamic information for its applications such as point-of-care testing, environment monitoring and chemical synthesis. Herein, an intelligent, accurate and fast droplet tracking method based on machine vision is developed for applications of digital microfluidics. To continuously recognize the transparent droplets in real-time and avoid the interferes from background patterns or inhomogeneous illumination, we introduced the correlation filter tracker, enabling online learning of the multi-features of the droplets in Fourier domain. Results show the proposed droplet tracking method could accurately locate the droplets. We also demonstrated the capacity of the proposed method for estimation of the droplet velocity as faster as 20 mm/s, and its application in online monitoring the Griess reaction for both colorimetric assay of nitrite and study of reaction kinetics.
